An arrival that poses a problem
It’s complete, Anthony Gordon will join FC Barcelona for around 80 million euros in the coming days. Barça listened to Hansi Flick, who wanted a new weapon on the sides and the German loved the profile of the Englishman who can play winger, but also number 9. A profile similar to Marcus Rashford ultimately and that is precisely what raises the question. Indeed, who says Gordon’s signature, says complication for that of Rashford. As indicated SportBarça was willing to keep him, but not under any conditions. In the middle of all this, the Rashford clan remains optimistic and continues to believe in the word of Barça who told him that he would stay. It’s a soap opera that risks dragging on, the Catalan club could try to bring him on loan a second time, except that Manchester United wants to sell him and risks raising the stakes after seeing the Catalans take out the checkbook.

On the player side, however, one of the squad’s executives could leave, Mason Greenwood. As explained La Gazzetta dello SportGreenwood is Roma’s top priority to strengthen their attack and OM would demand around €50 million to sell him. If Roma are preparing a major offensive, they must first sell some players. Indeed, to finance the operation, Roma could part ways with Matias Soulé, estimated at €40 million and tracked by Aston Villa.
