Barcelona are pursuing Anthony Gordon and have reached total agreement with him over personal terms. Club-to-club negotiations are now underway between Barcelona and Newcastle United to finalize the transfer fee. Barcelona are moving quickly to complete the deal before other clubs, including Bayern Munich and Premier League rivals, can make offers. Barcelona have reportedly submitted a first offer of €70 million (about £60 million) for the 25-year-old England international. Newcastle had been linked with holding out for around £75 million, so negotiations may still require adjustments. With the pace of talks, a resolution could come within hours.
"Barcelona have reached a total agreement with Gordon over personal terms. With an agreement with the player settled, direct club-to-club negotiations are now taking place between the Blaugrana and Newcastle to finalise a fee for the transfer. The reason why Barcelona are moving so fast is that they wish to close the operation without leaving any room for Bayern Munich and other interested clubs from the Premier League to make a swoop for the former Evertonian."
"Barcelona have already sent their first offer for Gordon to Newcastle United. The La Liga champions have tabled a proposal worth €70 million (~£60 million) to secure the England international from the Premier League side. Recent reports had suggested that Newcastle United were holding out for a fee of £75 million, so there may still be some work to be done before a total agreement between the two clubs can be finalised."
"Deco wants to close the signing as soon as possible. It could be a matter of hours. Given how fast things are moving, it will not be a surprise to see Deco & co. close the deal in the next few hours."
