Barcelona’s unveiling of English winger Anthony Gordon occurred over seven hours later than scheduled. The postponement stemmed from final legal details and paperwork required to complete a high-importance transfer. Barcelona stayed confident the deal would finish without issues. After formalities were completed, Gordon was presented publicly and spoke for the first time as a Barcelona player. He said he felt comfortable with his family and agents at the hotel and believed it was already done. He impressed supporters by speaking Spanish, calling it a dream come true and describing it as a new Barça. The 25-year-old arrived for a reported €80 million fee and acknowledged the responsibility of representing a major club.
"“No, I've been very comfortable with my family and my agents at the hotel. I knew it was a done deal. I'm very excited about what's happening.” The former Newcastle United attacker also showed off his Spanish during the presentation, something that immediately impressed many supporters."
