Fabrizio Romano reveals key detail in Anthony Gordon’s Newcastle deal amid transfer update

Newcastle United Transfer Update: Anthony Gordon’s Release Clause Revealed as Fabrizio Romano Shares Latest Insight

Details surrounding Anthony Gordon’s release clause at Newcastle United have surfaced, with transfer expert Fabrizio Romano providing an update on the winger’s situation.

After a slow start to the campaign, Gordon impressed during England’s recent international fixtures, coinciding with revelations about a release clause included in his Newcastle contract.

At the beginning of the season, Gordon was deployed as a makeshift striker due to Callum Wilson’s exit and Alexander Isak’s absence. However, a red card against Liverpool disrupted his early momentum in the Premier League.

Earlier in the year, the 23-year-old had been linked with a move away from St. James’ Park amid Newcastle’s financial concerns regarding Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR). Those worries were eased after the club sanctioned the sales of Yankuba Minteh and Elliot Anderson — generating over £60 million and avoiding a potential points deduction that could have derailed their Champions League qualification bid.

Anthony Gordon’s Contract and Clause

Newcastle were quick to fend off outside interest by securing Gordon to a new long-term contract in October 2024. Speaking at the time of signing, the winger expressed his commitment and happiness on Tyneside:

“The club’s in a fantastic place. Since the takeover, everything’s been moving forward. Me and the gaffer are a great fit — I love it here.

I’m settled, I feel connected to everyone — teammates, fans, and staff. My goal is to help bring a trophy to this club because the supporters deserve it.”

According to The i, Gordon’s latest deal includes a release clause that can be activated by any interested club willing to meet Newcastle’s valuation — believed to exceed £100 million.

As seen with Alexander Isak’s situation in the summer, such clauses can benefit both parties: they establish a clear benchmark for potential suitors while giving the player clarity over the financial requirements needed to facilitate a transfer.
