Newcastle's increased financial capacity, due to their Saudi-backed ownership, has placed them as strong players in the transfer market. Newcastle United has been quietly progressing discussions with Cordero's team.
Newcastle United's success under new ownership has been nothing short of incredible. With huge investment and smart scouting, the club has been able to compete with prominent European teams in the transfer market. Signing young, high-potential players has proven successful, as proven by Alexander Isak and Bruno Guimarães. Antonio Cordero appears to be the team's next major addition.
Cordero is expected to earn more playing time at Newcastle than he would at Barcelona and Real Madrid given the intense competition he would encounter there. Under Eddie Howe, Newcastle's dynamic and attacking football finds fit with Cordero's playing approach. His attacking creativity would enable him to create a lethal combination with Bruno Guimarães, which allows the squad to break down challenging Premier League defences.
As Newcastle United get closer to signing Antonio Cordero, fans are excited about the influence this young talent could have on the team. With Cordero on board, Newcastle can look forward to a bright future on and off the pitch. The question now is how soon Cordero can adapt and contribute to Newcastle's Premier League campaign.
