Anthony Gordon to Undergo Medical with Barcelona Soon

Anthony Gordon is preparing for a medical examination with FC Barcelona after Newcastle United confirmed a £69.3 million transfer agreement. This transfer marks Gordon as the second most expensive sale in Newcastle's history, following Alexander Isak's £125 million move to Saudi Arabia.

Gordon's move to Barcelona is anticipated to be finalized by the end of the weekend, coinciding with the England squad's preparations for the World Cup in Florida. The 22-year-old winger, who previously played for Everton, had a standout season at Newcastle, scoring 17 goals and attracting interest from top European clubs.

Barcelona is looking to utilize Gordon's versatility across the front line, especially following Robert Lewandowski's departure. The Catalan club aims to integrate Gordon into their squad as part of a broader rebuilding strategy under coach Hansi Flick.
