Newcastle United Are On The Hunt For A Pre-Contract Agreement With This Malaga Prodigy: Why Do They Want Him?

The Daily Mail has reported that Newcastle United want to sign the 18-year-old prodigy Antonio Cordero from Malaga CF in the upcoming summer transfer window. They will also face competition from the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid for the services of the player. There are talks in progress for a pre-contract agreement with the player.

Newcastle United want to sign Antonio Cordero

The player has scored four goals and provided six assists in the 25 matches that he has played so far across competitions, which is quite a good enough stat given his age. He is celebrated for his versatility and dynamism. Capable of playing on either wing or as an inside forward, he’s known for his pace, acceleration, and excellent ball control.

His ability to use both feet for crossing and dribbling adds to his predictability on the pitch. Cordero’s tactical intelligence, combined with his bravery and work rate, make him a standout prospect. His potential is highlighted by his early achievements in Segunda División. Therefore, the Magpies want to sign the player where he can grow to become one of the best players in the team.

Can they get the deal done?

Real Madrid and Barcelona, the two La Liga giants, are always on the hunt for teenage prodigies who can serve their club for a longer time. Hence, they are in the race for Cordero. However, the report has clearly stated that Newcastle United are in very advanced talks for a pre-contract agreement with the player and hence are sure to beat the competition from the two La Liga giants.

The Magpies will hope that they can close the deal soon given that it is not easy to fend off interest from Barcelona and Real Madrid. The player can also receive better chances of playing regularly in a club like Newcastle United than at Barcelona or Real Madrid. Now, it just remains to be seen if the Magpies can go on to get the deal done as soon as possible or not.
