Barcelona plan to sign a new striker after completing Anthony Gordon deal: Report

FC Barcelona are preparing their next major move in the 2026 summer transfer window. Once the signing of Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United is finalized, the Catalan club will prioritize signing a new striker, according to Catalunya Radio.

Gordon Deal Almost Done

As reported earlier, Barcelona have reached an agreement with Newcastle for Anthony Gordon in a deal worth €70m fixed + add-ons (total package over €80m). The England international is expected to travel for his medical and contract signing very soon.

With the left-wing position reinforced, attention now turns to the centre-forward role.

Why Barcelona Need a Striker

Hansi Flick’s high-pressing system demands strong squad depth, and signing a striker who can link play, press aggressively, and finish chances would perfectly complement talents like Lamine Yamal, Anthony Gordonand Dani Olmo.

Potential Striker Targets for Barcelona

Barcelona are exploring several options for the striker position:

  • Julian Alvarez (Atlético Madrid) – Long-time dream target, though expensive.
  • Victor Osimhen – Named as an alternative by Catalunya Radio.
  • Other names frequently linked: Alexander Sørloth, João Pedro, and younger prospects.

The club is expected to be active in the market once Gordon’s transfer is officially completed and financial space is freed up.
