Atlético Closely Following Cardoso
Atlético de Madrid has several names on its list to strengthen the midfield, and Johnny Cardoso, a Real Betis player, is one of the most interesting. However, the player has stated that, for the moment, his priority is the Conference League final that Betis will play against Chelsea on May 28 in Poland.
Cardoso says he is focused on enjoying his teammates, the club and the fans, leaving aside any speculation about his future. The economic situation of Betis, which needs to sell players before June 30, could be key for Atlético to finalize the signing.
Despite Cardoso’s recent contract extension until 2030 and his release clause of 80 million euros, the Rojiblancos are confident that Betis will be forced to negotiate for a lower figure.
Although Tottenham has a preferential option in case of sale, the final decision would fall on the player, and Atlético hopes to convince Cardoso to join the Colchoneros project. Atlético’s management sees Cardoso as an important reinforcement for the midfield and is confident that his arrival can be finalized in the next transfer market.
