Newcastle United Agree First Major Transfer to Unlock Summer Spending

Barcelona are also weighing a £26 million permanent move for Marcus Rashford after agreeing a reported £70 million deal for Anthony Gordon.

  • On Thursday, Spanish champions Barcelona reached an agreement in principle with Newcastle United to sign England forward Anthony Gordon for £70 million , with a medical scheduled in Catalonia today.
  • Newcastle United secured a significant profit on the 25-year-old after manager Eddie Howe acknowledged in recent weeks that Gordon could depart, with the winger having scored 17 goals last season.
  • Bayern Munich had pushed to sign Gordon, but their valuation fell short of Newcastle's demands; Premier League rival Everton will receive approximately £3.6m from a sell-on clause negotiated in January 2023.
  • Barcelona continues to engage Manchester United regarding Marcus Rashford, seeking another loan rather than a permanent transfer as negotiations between the clubs reach an impasse.
  • This signing positions Barcelona to finalize the deal before Gordon departs for the World Cup with England, though club sources indicate the club must manage a LaLiga-imposed spending cap for additional summer business.
