The summer transfer saga involving Anthony Gordon is already set to come to an end, after Newcastle United accepted a mega-money offer from Barcelona for the winger.

GIVEMESPORT sources understand a deal has been agreed worth in around £70m, plus a future sell-on clause for the England international, who will jet out to Spain to complete a medical before finalising a deal before the World Cup.

That’s despite major interest from Bayern Munich and Premier League clubs about a move, with Newcastle in a position where they were forced to listen to offers after a poor season in the Premier League meant they missed out on European football entirely.

Anthony Gordon Barcelona Contract Details Revealed

According to The Chronicle Live, the Magpies received two rival bids on Wednesday for the 25-year-old’s services – one from Barcelona, and one from Bayern Munich.

But the Bundesliga champions were blown out of the water, and refused to match Barcelona’s bid, which allowed the Catalan club to seal an agreement and get a deal over the line, with a deal worth £69.3m including add-ons.

It’s reported that Gordon has already said goodbye to his teammates, and in a stunning update, he is now set to see his wages doubled to around £300,000-a-week at the Camp Nou.

Gordon was left out of the Newcastle side since the clash with Crystal Palace back in April, with Eddie Howe admitting that they were ‘planning for the future’ with his absence. Now a deal has been agreed, and the club will get the financial injection they were looking for to help them bolster their own squad, while also hoping to keep hold of other stars.

Gordon One of England’s Highest-Paid Players

With Gordon set to earn around £300,000-a-week in Spain as part of his agreement with the club, he is expected to climb the list of England’s highest-paid players as a result.

Currently, the country’s top earner is Ivan Toney, who takes home a whopping £427,670-a-week from Saudi club Al-Ahli. His form has somewhat justified the money, netting an impressive 42 goals in 49 appearances, and earning a spot in Thomas Tuchel’s England squad for the World Cup.

Behind him is Harry Kane, who earns £419,120-a-week at Bayern Munich, while Real Madrid superstar Jude Bellingham earns around £350,000-a-week in the Spanish capital. But Gordon would slot into the list just behind him, and alongside the likes of Jack Grealish and Bukayo Saka once he puts pen to paper on his new deal.

Arsenal have now set their asking price for Gabriel Jesus, with clubs opening talks to secure his signature, according to David Ornstein.

Jesus has struggled to be a regular starter for the Gunners of late, with Kai Havertz and Viktor Gyokeres the favoured strikers for Mikel Arteta.

The Brazilian forward is set to be out of contract in 2027. Arsenal have to cash in soon if they are not going to tie him down to a new deal, or they risk losing him for nothing.

A move for Jesus in the summer transfer window would make sense, considering he’s almost certainly third choice in the pecking order.

Arsenal cashing in on him means they can hopefully make a little bit of money for the reinforcements while also saving plenty on their wage bill.

Arsenal Set Jesus Asking Price

According to The Athletic’s David Ornstein, Arsenal will demand up to £20m for striker Jesus in the summer transfer window.

The report claims that multiple clubs have open talks to secure his signature, with his contract running down.

Jesus, who is believed to earn in the region of £265,000 a week, started just three times in the Premier League during the 2025-2026 season.

A departure in the upcoming window does now feel likely, as it certainly makes sense for all parties involved.

Jesus Could Return to Former Club

It’s unclear which clubs have made enquiries to sign Jesus ahead of the summer transfer window, but a return to Brazil could be on the cards, if not now, then certainly in the future.

Jesus previously stated that one day he would love to return to his home country to play for Palmeiras.

Jesus was speaking back in December, but it will be interesting to see whether his stance has changed on a potential departure after struggling for minutes this season.

Manchester United are considering making a shock move to sign a midfielder from their North West rivals Liverpool.

It’s rare that you see players moving between Liverpool and Manchester United due to the rivalry they have in the North West. It is so rare that no player has transferred between the two sides directly since 1964.

Although Liverpool are rivals of Everton and Manchester United with Manchester City, the two still share a fierce rivalry between them.

Manchester United are in the market for reinforcements in the summer transfer window as they prepare for a season in the Champions League. Convincing Liverpool to part ways with a player certainly won’t be easy, however, so they might have to move on to other targets.

Man Utd Plot Shock Liverpool Transfer Raid

According to a report from the Daily Mirror, Manchester United are considering a ‘shock’ move to sign Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister in the summer transfer window.

The report does confirm that Manchester United understand that striking a deal with Liverpool is highly unlikely, so there are plenty of alternative targets.

Signing a midfielder is a huge priority for the Red Devils, and we could see a number of them arrive through the door.

The report claims that Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson is more likely to join Manchester City than United, meaning Michael Carrick’s side have conceded defeat.

Despite that, United do have a number of targets in the pipeline to strengthen in the middle of the park.

Man Utd Have Alternative Midfield Options

With a move for Mac Allister, described as ‘world-class’, appearing to be fairly unlikely due to their relationship with Liverpool, United do have a list of alternative targets.

It seems the Red Devils are looking to get a move on to strengthen their midfield options, with reports claiming they’ve now reached a full agreement with Atalanta to sign Brazilian midfielder Ederson.

Separate reports have claimed that United could also be closing in on the signing of Newcastle star Sandro Tonali, with the Italian midfielder said to be on his way to sealing a move to Old Trafford.

United certainly haven’t been messing around since the end of the season, quickly looking to strengthen their squad in the summer transfer window.
