A few days ago, the honorary president of Bayern Munich, Uli Hoehnes, mocked Barcelona’s financial situation after completely closing the door on Harry Kane’s move to the Catalan club.
“Harry Kane is the best deal we have ever done. “Bayern Munich is a club that buys players, not a club that sells them.” Besides, Barcelona has no money at all.
But the Catalans’ response was swift as Barcelona were able to hijack the deal for England international Anthony Gordon after agreeing a €70m fee with Newcastle United, with variables that could reach another €10m.
Interestingly, Bayern Munich have been close to signing Gordon in recent weeks, with some reports even suggesting a preliminary agreement on personal terms between the German club and the player, before Barcelona stepped in and scrapped the deal.

If the deal is officially completed, Gordon will not only be a new attacking reinforcement for Hansi Flick’s side, but could also become Barcelona’s practical answer to the German’s latest taunt.
