‘Going to work very hard’ – Anthony Gordon sends emotional message after completing dream Barcelona move | OneFootball

Anthony Gordon’s long-awaited move to Barcelona is finally official, and the England international wasted little time in sharing his excitement with supporters.

The transfer was confirmed after an unusually long delay caused by administrative and contractual formalities. 

Although there was never any serious concern regarding the deal itself, the lengthy wait generated plenty of discussion among fans eager to see Barcelona unveil one of their marquee signings of the summer.

The 25-year-old winger has joined the Catalan giants on a five-year contract after arriving from Newcastle United in a deal worth close to €80 million.

His arrival has attracted attention across Europe, particularly in Germany, where many expected Bayern Munich to emerge victorious in the race for his signature.

Gordon’s transfer came as a surprise in several quarters, especially considering the strong interest shown by Bayern Munich during the process.

The move has even sparked debate abroad, with some questioning how Barcelona managed to secure such a significant signing given the club’s well-documented financial challenges in recent years.

Regardless of the outside noise, Gordon made it clear that his focus is entirely on his new adventure at Camp Nou.
