Anthony Gordon to Barcelona: The Unexpected Twist That Could Redefine Marcus Rashford’s Manchester United Future
Anthony Gordon’s potential impending transfer to Barcelona has caught the football world by surprise.
Barca’s move for the Newcastle United forward was unexpected enough that Bayern Munich are thought to have shrugged off news of the Catalan club’s interest as simply being a negotiation tactic to drive down the cost of bringing in Marcus Rashford on a permanent move.
But Barcelona’s interest is solid enough that they have in fact outbid Bayern and Gordon is now expected to complete a move. So with both players playing similar roles…what does that mean for Rashford?
Marcus Rashford’s Barcelona future in doubt
Reports on both sides of the Bay of Biscay differ slightly in the detail, but nobody currently seems willing to say that Barca’s move for Gordon kills off the chances of Rashford making his loan from Manchester United into a permanent move.
Barcelona hold the option to take Rashford on a longer-term basis for a £26m fee, but are yet to exercise that option.
