"Newcastle" winger Anthony Gordon is surprisingly very close to joining Barcelona. The English footballer is scheduled to undergo a medical in Spain on Thursday. If this transfer goes through, Gordon's financial situation will improve significantly — his weekly salary is expected to double to £300,000. This is reported by Goal.com reports .
The Catalan club has reached a final agreement with "Newcastle" regarding the transfer. The deal is valued at approximately £69 million ($92 million). The La Liga giants accelerated negotiations on Wednesday evening, managing to beat out serious rivals like Liverpool and Bayern Munich. According to reports, the 25-year-old player himself wanted to play at "Camp Nou".
Anthony Gordon scored 10 goals in the Champions League last season, trailing only stars like Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappe in that metric. Hansi Flick sees him as a worthy competitor to players like Lamine Yamal and Raphinha, as well as a versatile player capable of playing anywhere in the attack.
For "Newcastle", this sale was a necessary step in reshaping the squad. Having finished the Premier League season in 12th place, the "Magpies" decided to let their leader go to improve their financial situation and raise funds for new transfers. After his medical, Gordon will join the England national team under Thomas Tuchel.
