Barcelona reached an agreement with Newcastle United for Anthony Gordon for €70 million fixed plus €10 million in variables. The deal could cost less than expected through a transfer domino effect involving Ez Abde and Jan Virgili. Barcelona still owns 20% of Abde’s future sale value after his move to Real Betis, where his release clause is €60 million. If Newcastle targets Abde as a replacement for Gordon, Barcelona could benefit from Abde’s subsequent transfer. Betis may then look to Real Mallorca forward Jan Virgili as Abde’s replacement. Barcelona retained 40% of Virgili’s future transfer value, with his release clause reduced to €12 million after Mallorca’s relegation. Both related moves are expected to progress quickly once the Gordon transfer is official.
"Right now, neither transfer has been finalised yet, but there is optimism that both operations could move quickly once the Gordon deal is official. If the domino effect fully materialises, Barcelona would effectively recover part of the money invested in the Premier League winger without directly negotiating a lower fee with Newcastle. Beyond the financial aspect, Gordon is highly valued within the Catalan club for his ability to play across multiple attacking positions."
