Newcastle United has reportedly completed a deal to sign 18-year-old Spanish winger Antonio Cordero from Malaga.
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, the Magpies have won the race for Cordero’s signature, beating off competition from top European clubs including Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Cordero’s Impressive Record
Cordero has made 53 first-team appearances for Malaga since his debut in 2023, scoring five goals and providing six assists in 32 second-tier matches this season.
The Spain Under-19 international’s talent and potential have caught the eye of several top clubs, but Newcastle’s persistence has paid off.
Newcastle’s Signing Strategy
The signing of Cordero is expected to bolster Newcastle’s attacking options, following the departure of Miguel Almiron to Atlanta United in January.

An announcement on Cordero’s arrival at Newcastle is expected soon, but it’s unclear whether he’ll be integrated into Eddie Howe’s first-team plans immediately.
With his talent and potential, Cordero could become a key player for the Magpies in the future.
