FC Bayern: Gordon change probably failed – transfer to FC Barcelona fixed

For 80 million euros

According to Hoeneß they have no money, now they are getting Bayern’s transfer target

FC Bayern had reportedly identified Anthony Gordon as a transfer target. But the competition is apparently getting ahead of the German record champions.

FC Barcelona has apparently made the race for Anthony Gordon. As several media reports, the Catalans have reached an agreement with both the player and his club. Newcastle United are said to have agreed to a transfer fee of €70 million plus €10 million in bonus payments for the winger.

This would mean that FC Bayern would come away empty-handed. The record champions were also very interested in the English international, but are said to have been unwilling to pay such a fee. The Munich-based company had imagined a price in the region of 60 million euros. Both Barcelona and FC Bayern are said to have officially submitted their offers on Wednesday.

Given Gordon’s rather mixed season with only six goals and two assists in the Premier League, the portal “transfermarkt.de” also estimates Gordon’s value at “only” 60 million euros.

However, FC Barcelona wanted to finalize the deal quickly, before there was any possible bidding with financially strong clubs from England. Liverpool FC was also linked to Gordon. Barça sporting director Deco traveled to the island to convince the winger. Gordon is now expected for a medical check in Spain on Thursday. According to the British “Chronicle Live” he is said to earn 300,000 pounds (around 346,000 euros) in Catalonia.

It is not without a certain irony that Barcelona, ​​of all places, buy their dream player away from Bayern. Munich’s honorary president Uli Hoeneß spoke about the Catalans’ poor financial situation during the DFB Cup final. When asked on ARD whether Harry Kane would definitely stay regardless of the amount of a possible Barça offer, Hoeneß replied: “Sure. Besides, Barcelona doesn’t have any money, that’s how it starts.”

What Hoeneß means: FC Barcelona has been in debt for many years. In some cases there was talk of more than a billion euros. In autumn 2025, the club announced that it had reduced its debt to 469 million euros. FC Bayern, on the other hand, has equity of almost 600 million euros alone. Enough money to find an alternative for Gordon.
