Barcelona sign Anthony Gordon, ignore World Cup price rise

Anthony Gordon's transfer to FC Barcelona has been completed. The club's sporting department immediately turned its attention to planning for the upcoming season.

Barcelona confirmed that the signing adds a forward option to the squad. The Blaugrana remain unconcerned by a possible increase in transfer fees for a top attacking target due to the World Cup.

The sporting side continues its search for a long‑term successor for a key attacking role. The pursuit aligns with the club’s broader strategy to refresh the frontline.

Future negotiations will consider market movements after the World Cup. Barcelona expects its planning to accommodate any price adjustments without derailing its objectives.
