Antoñito Cordero is a target for Deportivo La Coruña. Several other Spanish Segunda División clubs are also interested in him, but Deportivo appears determined to make a move in the winter transfer window. The club must overcome three obstacles: the player's consent, Newcastle's approval, and an agreement with Westerlo to terminate the loan early. Cordero has a contract with Newcastle until 2030 and is on loan at Westerlo.

Newcastle United are reportedly preparing to sanction a new loan for 19-year-old midfielder Antonio Cordero, who has struggled for playing time this season at Belgian club KVC Westerlo. According to Cadena SER, Newcastle is expected to cancel his current loan arrangement. The same source suggests that Deportivo La Coruña, who are currently in Spain's second tier, are the leading candidates to sign him. While numerous Spanish clubs were interested in the player ahead of January, Deportivo have now become the leading candidates to sign him.
