Barcelona have agreed a deal worth more than £69m with Newcastle United for England forward Anthony Gordon.
Sky previously reported the clubs were in advanced talks as they looked to agree a fee. These had been described as positive and a deal has now been struck worth in excess of 80m euros (£69.3m). Gordon will now finalise the formalities of his move before he flies out with his England team-mates to the United States for a training camp before the World Cup. Bayern Munich also held formal discussions with Newcastle, but there was a gap in valuation between the two clubs and it was Barca who ended up making an acceptable bid.
Newcastle chief executive David Hopkinson made it clear they would only sell players on \"our terms\" in March. The club were in a strong position to command a premium for Gordon, whose contract does not expire until 2030.
