BREAKING: Barcelona sign Gordon for £69m from Newcastle | OneFootball

England international Anthony Gordon has signed for La Liga champions Barcelona in a £69.3m deal from Newcastle United.

The winger, who scored six goals and assisted twice in his final 26 matches for the Magpies this season, joins on a five year deal set to run until June 2031, bringing his three years on Tyneside to an end before competing in the 2026 World Cup.

Gordon, 25, was pictured arriving in Catalonia on Thursday night for his medical, after Hansi Flick’s side fought off German giants Bayern Munich for the former Everton player’s signature.

He made a total of 152 appearances in Black and White, scoring 39 goals before making the switch to the Catalan club, who were previously rumored to be considering activating loanee Marcus Rashford’s £26m option to buy clause.

Gordon’s move is worth roughly €80m and will likely see Barca loanee Rashford, 28, return to boyhood club Manchester United with the arrival of his Three Lions teammate.
