Barcelona have announced the signing of England forward Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United on a five-year contract.
Sources have told ESPN the deal is worth an initial €70 million ($81.7m), potentially rising to over €80 million ($93.3m) with add-ons.
Barça moved quickly to land Gordon this week, with Bayern Munich and Liverpool also expressing an interest in the 25-year-old.

ESPN reported on Wednesday that Barça and Newcastle had reached an agreement over a fee, with Gordon flying to the Catalan city on Thursday to complete a medical.
"This is the biggest club on the planet," Gordon said at a short presentation. "I know it comes with a lot of responsibility, but like I said, I'm ready for this kind of challenge, ready for that responsibility.
"I know everybody, the players in the past who've worn the shirt, it holds a lot of weight, but I'm ready. I'm excited for the challenge."
Gordon impressed in his first public appearance as a Barça player -- which was held up by over eight hours due to paper work issues -- by responding to some of the questions in Spanish.
He said he has been learning the language for while because he's always imagined signing for Barça.

"I have a [Spanish] physio in Newcastle and we spoke every day and I told him one day I'll play for Barça, so I want to learn Spanish. So that's how I speak some."
He will now head off to the United States for the World Cup after being named in Thomas Tuchel's 26-player England squad.
Gordon arrives at Barça as part of an attacking shakeup requested this summer by coach Hansi Flick.
He primarily plays on the left, but can also play through the middle, and bolsters a front line that already includes Lamine Yamal and Raphinha.
"To play with Lamine and the rest of the players is very exciting for me," Gordon said. "I think the more players with quality you have around you, the better you're going to be.
"These players are at the very top level for a reason. They're the best players in the world. I spoke with Hansi Flick already as well.
