Newcastle United favorites to sign Malaga winger Cordero

Real Madrid is struggling to sign Malaga winger Antonio Cordero. Newcastle United is now the frontrunner to secure the young player, according to reports. Cordero, an 18-year-old Spanish Under-19 international, has attracted interest from several major clubs, including Barcelona. Initially, Barcelona had the upper hand due to a close relationship with Cordero's agent. However, that situation has changed, and Newcastle is now in a strong position to finalize the deal. Cordero has made a name for himself at Malaga this season. He played a crucial role in helping the team get promoted last year by scoring a key goal. This season, he has appeared in 29 matches, providing five goals and six assists. His strong performances have made him a valuable player for Malaga. Malaga has been trying to renew his contract, which expires in June 2025, but Cordero and his agent have turned down multiple offers. It seems likely he will leave as a free agent this summer. Newcastle has built a reputation for finding young talent in Spain, and they see Cordero as a promising addition. Although Barcelona could still try to make a late offer, all indications suggest Cordero will head to the Premier League. Newcastle appears ready to lead the race for his signature.
