Most Expensive English Football Players of All Time: Gordon to Break Top 10 with £69.3m Barcelona Transfer
The move would add a 25-year-old England winger after Barcelona made an €80 million bid and continued talks with Newcastle United, reports said.
La Liga champions Barcelona have made a reported €80 million bid for Newcastle United forward Anthony Gordon, engaging in advanced talks to beat Bayern Munich to his signature.
Newcastle values Gordon at around 75 million, and head coach Eddie Howe acknowledged in recent weeks there is a possibility the 25-year-old could leave the club this summer.
Gordon is currently named in England manager Thomas Tuchel's squad for the World Cup, following a season where he scored 17 goals and was closely monitored by Barcelona manager Hansi Flick and Sporting Director Deco.
Signing Gordon creates uncertainty for Manchester United-owned forward Marcus Rashford, whose current loan at the Spotify Camp Nou includes a €30 million buy option, forcing Barcelona to balance the squad.
President Joan Laporta faces the challenge of funding these additions while attempting to return to the league's 1:1 financial rule, as Barcelona also pursues Atletico Madrid's Julian Alvarez.
Newcastle attacker Anthony Gordon should join FC Barcelona. The Catalan club would have made an offer of 70 million euros, excluding bonuses, accepted by the recent twelfth of Premier League.
Anthony Gordon is considered the dream player of FC Bayern in the summer. Now Hansi Flicks FC Barcelona has made a mega offer for him. This is probably the end for the Bavarian hopes.
