Newcastle confirm first summer signing after pipping Barcelona, Real Madrid and Porto to Spanish wonderkid

Cordero said: "It's truly an honour to be here, truly a pleasure. 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.'

He said: "From the outside, it seems easy, but then it requires certain circumstances to make sense of everything - salary caps and other issues. It's up to the club to talk about it." Cordero scored his first senior goal for the Andalusian giants in June 2024, bagging a last-gasp equaliser in a play-off final second leg to fire Malaga back in to the Segunda Division. Upon confirmation of the signing, Newcastle 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.

Newcastle ‘ready to make statement £100m-plus double transfer swoop' for Marc Guehi and Bryan Mbeumo
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) NEWCASTLE are preparing a statement £100m double transfer swoop after qualifying for next season's Champions League. The Toon are eyeing moves for Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi and Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo, reports claim. 5 Newcastle are interested in Brentford winger Bryan Mbeumo Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 5 Eddie Howe's side previously pushed to sign Marc Guehi last summer Credit: Reuters Thanks to Manchester United beating Aston Villa 2-0 on the final day, Newcastle have cash to spend after finishing in the top-five, despite defeat to Everton. And sporting director Paul Mitchell wants to get one final major deal done before he quits St James' Park after 18 months in June. Newcastle tried and failed to sign Guehi last summer after a long pursuit, but have always remained interested in the England centre-back. And Palace could be tempted to cash-in now with Guehi, 24, entering the final year of his contract at Selhurst Park. READ MORE FOOTBALL NEWS Sky Sports Blues Melissa Reddy among 7 Sky Sports News stars leaving in major shake-up Newcastle won't pay the £65million asking price they were quoted 11 months ago, but hope a compromise can be reached, according to The Telegraph. Brentford's Mbeumo, 25, is a top target for several clubs, including Premier League champions Liverpool, after an electrifying season. Howe has long been an admirer of the Cameroon international, who scored 20 GOALS and provided eight assists in the Prem this season. But Bees manager Thomas Frank won't let Mbeumo go easily, with the West London club set to ask for between £50-£60million. 5 CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS Mbeumo finished just three goals behind Newcastle No 9 Alexander Isak, who came second to Mo Salah in the Golden Boot race this season. A right-sided forward and a defender have been the two more pressing positions to fill for the last couple of years. Newcastle star Callum Wilson bravely opens up on moment he considered taking his own life as a child 5 When asked about transfers last weekend, Howe stressed that Newcastle must move quickly. The 47-year-old, who led Newcastle to their first trophy in 70 years, said: 'Speed is key for us. I've reiterated that many times internally. 'We have to be dynamic, we have to be ready to conclude things very, very quickly because good players don't hang around for long. 'That's always been my thought and my message on recruitment because you can have a period where you think you've got time. 'But then you can look around quickly and realise that that time has elapsed and you have missed opportunities that you won't get again. 'That's what we'll be trying, but obviously the reality of that is it's not always in your hands. But we'll be doing our best to do things early.'
