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.

České fotbalistky narazí v říjnové baráži Ligy národů na Rakušanky
Češky obsadily ve skupině B4 kvůli horší bilanci ve vzájemných zápasech druhé místo za Ukrajinou. Rakousko skončilo v „áčku“ třetí a při losování bylo mezi nasazenými týmy, proto bude hrát odvetu doma.České hráčky v samostatné historii porazily Rakušanky jen jednou, dvakrát s nimi remizovaly a třikrát prohrály. Vzájemné skóre je ale vyrovnané (11:11). Naposledy se oba týmy utkaly předloni v dubnu, kdy Rakousko doma v přípravě zvítězilo 2:0.„Rakousko se v roce 2022 představilo na mistrovství Evropy v Anglii, kde postoupilo dokonce do čtvrtfinále. Během turnaje jsem je sledovala a viděla jsem, že se jedná o velmi dobře organizovaný tým, proti kterému se nikomu nehrálo vůbec dobře. My teď samozřejmě začneme intenzivně sbírat informace o tomto soupeři a brzy budeme znát jeho aktuální sílu,“ řekl Klimková pro web Fotbalové asociace ČR.Je ráda, že Češkám los přisoudil sousední zemi. „Z tohoto pohledu je samozřejmě dobře, že hrajeme proti Rakousku a odpadne nám náročné cestování.
