Ehhh, it would make a lot more sense for the initial eurocanards to just be Eurofighter and Rafale than to shoehorn an unrealistic Gripen E.
Early F/18’s for finland had no ground. The current versions have newer radars and better engines than the more recent models of f/18 E’s and the Finns restored the Air to Ground capability for the f/18. So gaijin could add the early f/18 to finland and another version of it later but that depends on gaijin

Finnish F/A-18C/D basic limit IR AAM AIM-9M & active radar homing BVRAAM AIM-120B and unlike F/A-18C from USN/USMC
I suppose F/A-18C MLU 2 compare to F/A-18E Block 1 standard (USN) except airframe & engine but no Paveway II & Paveway III LGB, LJDAM, anti-ship Missile, AGM-84 SLAM-ER, AGM-88 HARM and AGM-65 Maverick
Finnish F-18C/D…They were upgraded twice in 2004-2010 (new communication systems, LCD displays in the cockpit, AIM-9X)…2012-2016 (Link-16, AN/ALR-67,AIM-120C-7)…in November 2011, the US Congress approved the sale of AGM-158 JASSM and AGM-154 JSOW cruise missiles, JDAM guided bombs and suspended sighting and search containers.
Some information about the Eurofighter.
(It‘s in German so maybe „you“ have to translate)

They are adding the f18 with no new planes for germany
The leak can’t be real 100%, Germany can get a capable fighter too.
