Details revealed! How Bayern failed in the Gordon poker with Barcelona | OneFootball

FC Bayern have finally lost the transfer poker for Anthony Gordon. According to media reports, the England international is moving from Newcastle United to FC Barcelona, with the Catalans apparently beating the record champions to the deal

According to several media reports, Newcastle United and FC Barcelona have agreed on a transfer after intensive talks, with the Magpies pocketing a total package of more than 80 million euros

Particularly explosive: According to the Newcastle Chronicle, a real neck-and-neck race between FC Bayern and Barcelona developed on Wednesday. The Premier League club received an offer from Munich at the same time. However, the record champions are said to have withdrawn from the negotiations after Barça made a financial offer

According to reports, Bayern’s offer was lower than that of the Catalans and those in charge at Säbener Straße apparently did not want to pay sums that were no longer considered economically viable internally

Anthony Gordon is said to have already said goodbye to his teammates and the coaching staff. The medical check in Spain is imminent, after which the attacker will sign a five-year contract with FC Barcelona until 2031

The Spanish champions are apparently offering the 25-year-old a top contract. According to reports, Gordon will earn around 17 million euros per year in future – almost twice as much as he previously earned at Newcastle

This brings the total package of transfer fee and salary to well over 160 million euros

Bayern deliberately pulls the ripcord

For FC Bayern, the failed deal is a serious setback in the summer transfer window

Gordon was regarded internally as an absolute dream player for the offense, and Max Eberl had recently even publicly confirmed that talks had already taken place

In the end, however, Munich apparently made a conscious decision not to enter into a financial arms race with Barcelona. The record champions have already pulled out of negotiations several times in the past as soon as the feeling arose internally that the price and value were no longer in proportion

FC Bayern must now look for alternatives.
