According to reports, La Liga powerhouse Barcelona is prepared to spend €2 million during the January transfer window to get Antonio Cordero, an 18-year-old Spanish winger from Malaga. Barcelona is reportedly interested in Antonio Cordero, according to a story from the Spanish publication Radio MARCA Malaga that was picked up by SPORT. The Blaugrana are willing to pay €2 million to expedite the transfer for the 18-year-old prodigy this winter, even though they can buy the Malaga winger in a Bosman move during the 2025 summer transfer window.
Antonio Jose Cordero Campillo, better known by his nickname Antonito, is the most recent highly regarded attacking prospect to gain popularity in his native country. The Spaniard has already established himself in the first team at Malaga CF, and the European powerhouses continue to generate bright young players each year.
Barcelona ponders an accelerating move for Antonio Cordero
Barcelona is still interested in Antonito, who hasn’t extended his contract with Malaga, even though the trade may have fallen through. His entrance to Barça might be accelerated to the forthcoming winter transfer window for a fee of just €2 million, including variables, even if he could sign for free in the summer, according to Radio MARCA Malaga.
The article claims that Malaga would now accept the deal, which is less than what Barcelona had suggested last summer. However, the Andalusian team would rather get paid in the winter than allow the player to depart for nothing in the summer. A few months ago, the Blaugrana submitted a set offer of €1.8 million plus variables. Malaga might have received €4 million in total, but most of those requirements were challenging to fulfill because they depended on how many games Antonito played for the first squad.
