FC Barcelona is on the brink of announcing its first major signing of this summer's transfer window.

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, English winger Anthony Gordon is scheduled to arrive in Barcelona later today, shortly after lunchtime, to wrap up the final formalities of his move to the Catalan club.

The transfer process, executed swiftly by Barça’s sporting department, has seen a complete agreement reached with Newcastle United. The 25-year-old forward is expected to get straight to work upon reaching the city.

All arrangements have been meticulously planned, with Gordon set to undergo his medical examination this afternoon at the club’s facilities. Provided he successfully completes the medical tests, he will then sign a five-year contract binding him to Barcelona.

This acquisition marks a significant strengthening of Hansi Flick’s squad. Gordon’s addition underlines the club’s ambition to remain a top contender both in LaLiga and across European competitions.
