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.

As is the case in elite sport, the world of tennis can be incredibly unforgiving.

Winning a Grand Slam is no easy feat (unless your name is Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, or Djokovic), and many gifted players finish their careers without ever seriously challenging for a major crown. Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner have already secured multiple Slam titles and are widely expected to keep adding to their tally.

Still, there have been several elite players who walked away from the sport without lifting a Grand Slam trophy, and former Wimbledon champion John McEnroe discussed some of the greatest players to never win a Slam.

Best Players to Never Win a Tennis Grand Slam

Winning a Grand Slam is no easy feat (unless your name is Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, or Djokovic), and many gifted players finish their careers without ever seriously challenging for a major crown. Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner have already secured multiple Slam titles and are widely expected to keep adding to their tally. However, several players retired without winning a Grand Slam, and tennis icon McEnroe highlighted three of the best players in the game who have never achieved that honour.

The seven-time Grand Slam winner discussed Gael Monfils, Nick Kyrgios, and Alexander Zverev as three of the most talented players never to capture a Grand Slam title during a 2025 interview.

“To me, he’s one of the three most talented guys never to win a major.” McEnroe said after Monfils beat Taylor Fritz in the third round of the Australian Open in 2024.

McEnroe’s Picks Explored

Now 39 years old, Monfils remains one of the tour’s most entertaining figures. The Frenchman has collected 13 career titles, although a Grand Slam triumph has always escaped him. His best results at majors came at Roland Garros in 2008 and the US Open in 2016, where he reached the semi-finals before falling short of the final.

Kyrgios, meanwhile, reached the Wimbledon final in 2022 but lost to Djokovic in four sets. Despite never winning a singles Slam, the former world No.13 did claim the Australian Open doubles title alongside fellow Australian Thanasi Kokkinakis.

Zverev is currently ranked world No.3 and arguably has the strongest chance of finally securing a Grand Slam title. The 28-year-old has already appeared in three Slam finals, most recently at the Australian Open earlier this year. It remains to be seen whether he can break through with players like Alcaraz and Sinner dominating the sport.
