Barcelona reach agreement for Newcastle winger Anthony Gordon
Barcelona have agreed a deal worth €80m for Newcastle's Anthony Gordon, with the winger set to undergo a medical on Thursday.
Barcelona have reached an agreement with Newcastle United for the signing of winger Anthony Gordon. The deal is valued at £69.3m (€80m), inclusive of add-ons.
The 25-year-old is scheduled to fly to Barcelona on Thursday to undergo a medical examination. While there had been reports of interest from Bayern Munich, the German side opted against making a rival bid.
Gordon finished as Newcastle's top scorer last season with 18 goals. Despite signing a long-term contract extension in October 2024, Newcastle’s CEO David Hopkinson previously indicated that the club might need to sell key assets to facilitate further investment in the squad.
The arrival of Gordon raises questions regarding the future of Marcus Rashford, who is currently on loan at the club from Manchester United. Rashford has expressed a desire to stay in Spain, though his long-term prospects could now be impacted by this significant attacking acquisition.
