Shocks in the transfer market: Barcelona acquires Gordon and waives Rashford

The transfer window is heating up with dramatic reports of extensive activity by Barcelona. According to 𝗙𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗯𝗮𝗵ç𝗲 𝗥𝘂𝗵𝘂 💛💙🇹🇷 (a channel associated with Fenerbahçe fans), the club has reached an agreement in principle with Newcastle for the transfer of Anthony Gordon for about £70 million plus bonuses.

Simultaneously, Marcus Rashford's future at Barcelona seems uncertain. While 𝗙𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗯𝗮𝗵ç𝗲 𝗥𝘂𝗵𝘂 💛💙🇹🇷 notes that the club had a permanent purchase option of €30 million expiring on June 15, the fan channel GALATASARAY BAŞAKŞEHİR CANLI reports that the Spanish club has decided not to exercise the option.

The developments have also sparked great interest among other clubs. The channel GALATASARAY BAŞAKŞEHİR CANLI, associated with Galatasaray fans, claims that the club is closely monitoring Rashford's situation and that they intend to perform a "theft" or a competitive move on the matter. In the same breath, they added cynically that their club managed to sign Osimhen at zero cost ("for free").
