Barcelona Agrees Terms with England International, Now Negotiating with Club

Barcelona has reportedly reached a full agreement on personal terms with Anthony Gordon, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. Speculation in various media outlets suggests the England international is likely to sign a five-year contract, though the agreed salary remains undisclosed. Recent reports indicated that Barcelona's sporting director, Deco, traveled to London to accelerate discussions with the winger's representatives. Official negotiations between the clubs are now underway, but securing a deal with Newcastle is expected to be challenging. Anthony Gordon's current contract with the Magpies runs until the summer of 2030, and the club from St. James' Park is expected to demand at least £80 million for their wide player. Barcelona aims to finalize the transfer before the start of the World Cup in the USA, Mexico, and Canada, which kicks off on June 11th.

Last season, Anthony Gordon registered 17 goals and 5 assists in 46 appearances for Newcastle, often deployed at the forefront of their attack. It remains unclear what a deal for the winger would mean for another English international, Marcus Rashford. The player on loan from Manchester United has a contract only until the end of the current campaign, and Barcelona is reportedly refusing to activate his €30 million buyout clause, pushing for a reduction in the player's price.
