New challenge’ – Winger teases imminent Newcastle United transfer as five-year deal agreed
Antonio Cordero has taken to social media to address his imminent move to Newcastle United.
Cordero will officially join Newcastle United on July 1 following the expiration of his contract at Spanish second division side Malaga.
The Magpies fought off competition from the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona to sign the 18-year-old on a free transfer.
Newcastle confirmed the deal at the start of the month in an official club statement, which read: “Newcastle United will sign promising Spanish winger Antonio Cordero on 1st July following the expiry of his contract with Spanish side Málaga.
“The transfer is subject to completion of the registration process with the Premier League and the Football Association, as well as obtaining a UK visa.
“The 18-year-old – known as Antoñito – has made 60 senior appearances in all competitions for Sergio Pellicer’s Málaga, registering seven goals and nine assists.”
Cordero is currently away on international duty at the Under-19 European Championships in Romania with Spain.
