What Anthony Gordon's Transfer to Barcelona Means for Marcus Rashford

Anthony Gordon will leave Newcastle for Barcelona.

Anthony Gordon is joining Barcelona after Newcastle agreed to sell him for £69.3million. This could affect Marcus Rashford's future. Gordon will have a medical soon.

Gordon will earn around £300,000 per week, double his current wage. Barcelona is spending a lot of money before the World Cup.

Barcelona can sign Rashford for £26m due to a clause in his loan deal. However, they want to pay less to manage their finances.

Gordon plays on the left, where he will compete with Rashford for a place. But Barcelona might sign both players this summer.

Rashford has agreed to take a pay cut to stay at Barcelona. Another loan deal is possible, but Manchester United wants to sell him for the agreed price.

It is unclear if Manchester United will consider a different deal after Barcelona signed Gordon. Barcelona is showing its spending power.

Gordon's arrival means Barcelona does not need to sign another player for that position. Rashford has done well, but his future is uncertain.

This puts Manchester United in a difficult position regarding Rashford's future. He is under contract until 2028 but only planned to stay at Barcelona for the summer.

Marcus Rashford has been on loan at Barcelona from Manchester United.
