As of May 28, 2026, reports suggest that Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon is a transfer target for Barcelona. The 25-year-old English international has impressed in the Premier League, and Barcelona is reportedly considering a move to bolster their attacking options.
This potential signing could have implications for Marcus Rashford, who joined Barcelona from Manchester United in the summer of 2025. Rashford has been a regular starter for the Catalan club, but the arrival of Gordon would increase competition for places on the left wing.
Barcelona manager Hansi Flick is known for rotating his squad, and with Champions League and La Liga commitments, both players could see significant playing time. However, Rashford's position as a first-choice starter may be challenged if Gordon arrives.
Neither club has confirmed any deal, and transfer negotiations are ongoing. The outcome will depend on Barcelona's financial situation and player sales.
