Barça is taking everyone by surprise. In search of reinforcements for its attack, while it is the big ball of names in the Catalan media since the end of the season, the club led by Joan Laporta has set its sights on Anthony Gordon (25 years old). And we can say it, the Catalans have launched a lightning operation to be able to afford the services of the Three Lions player.
The information published throughout this Wednesday was quite positive for the Catalans, since an agreement was quickly reached with the player, who favored the Spanish champions despite the interest of clubs like Bayern Munich and Liverpool. Discussions with the Magpies have progressed well, and the Catalan press has just revealed a little bombshell.
Newcastle would have said yes
As indicated Sportan agreement in principle was reached between the Spanish club and the management of the English team. The Magpies thus gave the green light for the transfer of the player, which could be concluded around 80 million euros according to the Barcelona newspaper. Everything could be concluded before the start of the World Cup, and a five-season contract already awaits the former Everton player in Spain.
Barça thus listened to Hansi Flick, who wanted a new weapon on the flanks, and the German loved the profile of the Englishman. And it’s not over, since the Catalans also want to recruit a big number 9, they who are in a slightly more comfortable financial situation than in recent seasons. Suffice it to say that summer is going to be even hotter than usual in Barcelona…
