Newcastle United have reached an agreement to sign highly-rated Spanish youngster Antonio Cordero from Malaga CF.
The 18-year-old forward is set to join the Premier League club as a free agent in the summer, marking another strategic move by the Magpies to invest in young talent as part of their long-term project.
Cordero, who has been regarded as one of Spain’s most promising attacking prospects, had attracted interest from La Liga giants Barcelona and Real Madrid.
However, the teenager has opted to join Newcastle, impressed by the club’s vision for youth development and future ambitions under their ongoing project.
All terms of the deal have now been finalised, and an official announcement is expected in the coming weeks.
Sources close to the club indicate that Cordero is excited about the opportunity to test himself in the Premier League and sees Newcastle as the ideal platform to grow both personally and professionally.
The signing is considered a major coup for Newcastle, who managed to outmaneuver traditional Spanish powerhouses in the race for the talented forward. Cordero has been a standout performer in Malaga’s youth ranks, known for his pace, creativity, and eye for goal.
His performances in Spain’s lower divisions have earned him recognition as one of the most exciting young players emerging from the country’s academy systems.
Newcastle’s recruitment strategy in recent years has increasingly focused on bringing in youthful talent from across Europe, aligning with their ambition to build a squad capable of sustained success in both domestic and continental competitions.
The addition of Cordero reflects this forward-thinking approach and highlights the growing appeal of Newcastle as a destination for elite prospects.
With the likes of Cordero coming through, the Magpies continue to show that they are serious about building a dynamic team that blends experienced stars with up-and-coming talent.
While it remains to be seen how quickly the Spanish forward will break into the first team, the club is expected to provide him with the right environment and support to reach his full potential.
