🏁 When Newcastle United secured the signing of Anthony Gordon from Everton in January 2023, the deal included a 15% sell-on clause. This means that if Newcastle decides to sell Gordon in the future, Everton is due 15% of the profit or the total transfer fee received, depending on the contract structure.
To break down the math, if Newcastle sells Gordon for £60 million, a substantial portion—around £9 million to £12 million depending on the exact calculation of profit—would go directly to Everton, leaving the club with less cash to actually spend on reinforcements.
Because of this financial obligation, the Newcastle hierarchy is adamant that they will not consider any offers below the £80 million mark. The club needs to ensure the net profit from the sale is high enough to be worthwhile.
Setting the asking price above £80 million guarantees that Newcastle can bank a substantial amount of cash to reinvest in realistic, top-tier replacements for the squad without compromising their Financial Fair Play standing. The board remains firm that they will not be short-changed on an asset of Gordon's quality, especially with a hefty percentage owed to his former club.
What are your thoughts on the club's valuation of Gordon, and who would you like to see brought in as a replacement if he leaves?
