Barça kicks off this summer transfer window with a bang, with the Blaugrana team presenting their first signing: "Anthony Gordon is officially a Barcelona player, with the English striker signing a contract valid until 2031". Laporta "burns" the huge competition he had over Gordon as several other European clubs such as Bayern Munich and Liverpool were also interested in the Newcastle player. 70 million euros in cash, plus another 10 in bonuses, that's how much Anthony Gordon's transfer cost Barça, an important investment, a sensational purchase that further strengthens the offensive department that Hansi Flick has at his disposal.

Alongside president Laporta, Gordon did not hide his emotions about this transfer to La Liga: "Being part of the biggest club in the world is a dream come true", Gordon initially said, then explaining that his goal and dream is to triumph in the Champions League:

"It would be something extraordinary. In this city you immediately feel the great desire to win trophies. Personally I always have a hunger to win, I want to win all the trophies possible, above all the Champions League", Gordon emphasized, closing his interview with a comment on coach Hansi Flick:

"He is a great person and coach, I hope we win as many trophies together," Anthony Gordon said.
