If Anthony Gordon departs Newcastle this summer, Everton will receive a “significant” cash windfall, the Liverpool Echo reports.
However, if he were to leave Newcastle for Liverpool or anyone else, the Toffees would be entitled to a sell-on fee as part of the agreement that saw him leave Goodison Park in January 2023.
This summer, Everton will be hoping Anthony Gordon moves on.
Gordon left the team in terrible circumstances in January 2023, when supporters turned against him and the player finally forced his departure through.
However, Everton was in a precarious financial situation, so Newcastle acquired him for a significant amount less than what the Toffees were willing to pay.
In any case, it appears that the club was somewhat wise to include a sell-on clause in the contract, which would have guaranteed them more funds should he prove to be a wise addition.
Given how highly regarded he was and the possibility of a transfer given Newcastle’s position with PSR, the club obviously supported him to go and prosper. This might be wise business.
Given the club’s current financial circumstances, any windfall will be beneficial, although supporters would prefer to see an academy graduate playing for their bitter rivals in red rather than blue.
