Barcelona agree €70m deal to sign Anthony Gordon from Newcastle
Barcelona have agreed a €70m deal to sign Anthony Gordon from Newcastle, and the winger is set to travel to Spain this week for a medical. The fee equates to roughly £70m and will send Gordon from St James' Park to the Camp Nou. Barcelona expect Gordon to bolster their wide attack as the club pushes for LaLiga and Champions League success. Newcastle will receive the transfer funds to reinvest in the squad ahead of the close of the window.
🚨 Barcelona reach agreement with Newcastle United to sign Anthony Gordon. #FCBarcelona deal for 25yo winger €80m + future sale % to #NUFC - personal terms fine. Bayern Munich pursed England int’l but #FCBayern unwilling to hit asking price 🚨 @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/643...
Excellent move for all parties imo, we bank a big fee, he gets a move to one of the biggest clubs in the world and we don’t have to come up against him next season. He leaves with nothing but appreciation for what he has done here imo, good luck to him
I take it people don’t get to see PL games in Barcelona
What buried treasure did Barcelona find during the Camp Nou renovations to pay for this? It’s going to be hard to watch Olmo -> Gordon final third balls knowing both of their signings likely violate financial fair play.
How were they able to afford 70 millions when they can’t pay 30 millions for Rashford?
