Newcastle United is about to reveal its first signature of the summer transfer window, with the 18 -year -old Spanish winger Antonio Cordero, to join the Magpies next month, according to Ipaper.
The promising young person is considered one of the uprights of Spain, and Newcastle has managed to beat strong competition from the European giants of Real Madrid and Barcelona to guarantee his signature.
Cordero, who was born in Jerez, in southern Spain, started his football trip with local clubs, notably Cadiz, Seville and Real Betis before landing in Malaga in 2021.
Antonio Cordero is a young brilliant talent
His stay in Malaga saw him flourish, in particular in their “B-Team”, where he made a name for himself in the fifth Spanish level, scoring 12 impressive goals in just 17 appearances.
The scouts of some of the best European clubs saw him play and the young person impressed them.
Magpies are about to pursue their objective of investing in younger players who can become stars of the future, whether for their team or to earn them a lot of money from their transfers.
The coherent performance of Cordero earned him a call to the first Malaga team, where he made his professional debut in 2023.
Since then, he has established himself as a regular starter, accumulating 32 appearances at La Liga 2 this season.
Newcastle United could end the signature soon
Newcastle initiated contact with Cordero for the first time in January, exploring the possibility of a pre-contract agreement. The discussions progressed gently and the young winger, with his family, even visited Tyneside earlier this year.
CORDERO should finish the final stages of his transfer in June. However, it is understood that he will not immediately join the first team team of Eddie Howe. Instead, Newcastle plans to send it on loan to acquire more experience in the first team.
The Magpies are also interested in a move for the Aston Villa Jacob Ramsey midfielder.
