The long-anticipated transfer of Anthony Gordon has officially concluded, with the English winger set to join Catalan giants Barcelona. Insider Fabrizio Romano reports that the board of Newcastle United and the club’s Saudi owners have given their approval for the final bid submitted by Barcelona.
Financially, this transfer is noteworthy, with Barcelona agreeing to a fixed fee of €70 million. Additionally, easily achievable bonuses are expected to elevate the total package to over €80 million. This deal effectively sidelines all other potential suitors for the player, confirming Barcelona’s commitment to securing him.
In a rapidly unfolding series of events, Gordon is slated to travel to Catalonia as early as tomorrow for a medical examination and to finalize a long-term contract with the club.
