What happened: The financial structure of Anthony Gordon's move from Newcastle United to Barcelona has been revealed by SPORT, per Yahoo Soccer. The Catalan club have reached an agreement with Newcastle for the winger, described as one of the biggest deals of the summer.

Why it matters: The reported structure puts hard numbers behind a deal that has been building for weeks, after Barcelona reached an agreement to sign Gordon. How the fee is staged matters for a club that has wrestled with registration and wage-room constraints, and it sets Newcastle's reinvestment budget for the window.

What to watch: Watch for official confirmation, a medical, and the exact fee breakdown — base price versus add-ons and payment installments — plus how Newcastle redeploy the proceeds.
