🤝 FC Barcelona sign Anthony Gordon until 2031 | OneFootball

FC Barcelona officially announced the signing of Anthony Gordon this Friday at an event that was delayed by eight hours from its original schedule due to bureaucratic issues.

The English winger formally becomes a new Barça player, completing a strategic deal that strengthens the club’s sporting project for the coming seasons.

After landing yesterday afternoon in the Catalan capital, the forward successfully passed his medical examinations before having dinner with Deco and Bojan Krkic to seal the agreement. The player’s schedule gets underway today, as from 1:30 p.m. he will give his first official press conference as a Barça player.

The deal has been completed for a transfer fee of €70 million fixed plus variables. Gordon has put pen to paper on a long-term contract that will keep him at the Catalan club until 2031, showing the board’s huge commitment to his talent for the future.

From a financial standpoint, the British international will now earn a weekly salary of €346,000, equivalent to around €17.5 million gross per season. This figure exactly doubles his wages at Newcastle United and places him at the very top end of the squad’s pay scale.

With this move in the transfer market, Barcelona add pace, dribbling, and goals to their attack. Barça fans are already eagerly awaiting the player’s first words to the media on this historic day for the club.
