Gordon, the English winger, considered it was a joke when he was informed about Barcelona's interest in signing him. The player couldn't believe that a club of the Catalans' caliber was interested in him.
The transfer eventually went through, with the player heading to Barcelona. This signing represents a significant step in the English winger's career, as he saw one of the biggest clubs in the world show interest in him.
Gordon himself expressed his surprise at Barcelona's approach, admitting he doubted the veracity of the information when it was first communicated to him. This type of reaction is not uncommon when players from smaller or less high-profile leagues receive offers from top clubs.
The signing comes in the context of Barcelona's strategy to strengthen their attack with young players with growth potential, seeking alternatives for the future of the team's offensive sector.
