Barcelona officially announced the transfer of Anthony Gordon this Friday in an event that was postponed by eight hours from the original schedule due to bureaucratic problems.
The English winger officially becomes a new Barcelona player, concluding a strategic agreement that strengthens the club's sporting project for the coming seasons.
After arriving in the Catalan capital yesterday afternoon, the player successfully passed his medical, before having dinner with Deco and Bojan Krkić to finalize the deal.
The player's schedule starts tomorrow, and from 13:30 PM he will hold his first press conference as a Barcelona player.
The deal has been closed for a transfer fee of 70 million euros fixed plus bonuses towards Newcastle.
Gordon has signed a long-term contract that will keep him at the Catalan club until 2031, showing the board's great commitment to his talent for the future.
Financially, the England international will receive a weekly salary of 346,000 euros, which corresponds to around 17.5 million euros gross per season.
This figure exactly doubles the salary he had at Newcastle United and places him among the team's highest-paid players.
With this transfer move, Barcelona adds speed, dribbling and goals to its attack.
Barça fans are already eagerly awaiting the player's first words to the media on this historic day for the club./Express newspaper/
