Newcastle United have confirmed the signing of Antonio Cordero from Spanish second-tier side Malaga.
The 18-year-old winger — a Spain Under-19 international — will join on a free transfer after his current contract expires at the end of this month.
The Athletic previously reported both Barcelona and Real Madrid were interested before the Premier League club won the race.

The transfer is subject to completion of the registration process with the Premier League and the Football Association, the club say, as well as the obtaining of a UK visa.
He is expected to head out on loan next season.
“It’s truly an honour to be here, truly a pleasure,” he said. “I am a person who likes to aspire high. Why not come to one of the best places in the world to do it.
“It’s a big step, and that’s one of the reasons I’m here. I’m happy to do it and have a great desire to get going already.”
Outgoing sporting director, Paul Mitchell, said: “Antonio is an exciting talent. We’re delighted to bring him to Newcastle United amidst interest in Spain and across Europe.
“He has lots of potential, and the next phase of his development will be for the club to select a loan move that will challenge him and build on his experiences.”
Cordero joined Malaga’s youth system in 2021 and signed his first professional contract with the club the following year. He made his senior debut before appearing for Atletico Malagueno, the club’s ‘B’ side, in September 2023, coming on as a substitute against Atletico Madrid’s reserve team in a third tier match.
Cordero spent time with the B team that season while making appearances off the bench for the senior team. His most impactful performance came in the Primera Federacion play-offs, where he came on as a substitute to score in the last minute of the second leg of the play-off final against Gimnastic de Tarragona to put Malaga ahead 4-3 on aggregate, earning them promotion to the Segunda Division.
Cordero regularly appeared for Malaga last season, starting 23 of his 40 games and providing six goals and seven assists.

Felipe Melo mantém Messi acima de Ronaldinho Gaúcho, Ronaldo e Romário: “Maior que eu vi jogar”
Messi, em jogo do Inter Miami (Divulgação/X/Inter Miami) Felipe Melo não mudou de opinião sobre o maior craque que viu atuar no futebol. Sem acompanhar o auge de Pelé e Zico dentro do Brasil, o ex-jogador mostrou convicção ao eleger Lionel Messi como o dono do posto. Apesar da concorrência de Cristiano Ronaldo, Ronaldinho Gaúcho, Romário e Ronaldo, o camisa 10 foi colocado acima de todos os demais gênios dos gramados. “Ao meu modo de pensar, o Messi é o maior jogador que eu vi jogar futebol. Eu não vi o Pelé. Eu fui na despedida do Zico no Maracanã, mas não vi jogar de forma (recorrente) em outros jogos. Eu vi vídeos. O Messi é o cara que, assistindo jogar futebol, para mim é o melhor da história.”, disse Felipe Melo, no Seleção SporTV. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE Anteriormente, ao jornal […]
House v. NCAA settlement fundamentally alters college athletics, but don’t expect it to bring stability
The House vs. NCAA settlement is finally approved, and college football's operating structure is forever transformed. Schools will pay athletes directly with most Power Four football programs expected to distribute at least $14-16 million annually. There are new roster caps. There's now a clearinghouse responsible for determining fair market value with NIL deals. The changes are designed with the intent to bring stability and circumvent future lawsuits. So, no more chaos, right? Right …? RIGHT!?The bad news If you believe that I have some oceanfront property in Arizona that you can get for a great deal. College athletics may be entering a new era, but the same issues that have caused anarchy in college football over the last half decade are foundational elements of the sport's governing structure. The NCAA still lacks an anti-trust exemption. The NCAA nor its member schools […]
