Barcelona signs Anthony Gordon, eyes early transfer window

FC Barcelona unveiled Anthony Gordon as its first acquisition for the 2026‑27 campaign. The club plans to finalize its priority transfer business before the start of the World Cup.

The pre‑World Cup deadline is set to avoid disruption to the squad during the tournament. Completing key signings early also secures the players ahead of the international break.

Sporting director Deco is overseeing additional target negotiations. Those negotiations depend on a series of outgoing transfers being completed first.

Because the outbound moves are not yet settled, some incoming options may extend beyond the summer window. Barcelona acknowledges that certain prospective additions could be delayed.
