Cardoso: A Colchoneros Target This Summer
Attention, Rojiblancos! Atlético de Madrid’s board has its sights set on Johnny Cardoso, the talented American midfielder who is shining at Betis. His great performance has not gone unnoticed in Europe, and Atleti sees him as a key piece to strengthen the midfield for the next season.
Cardoso stands out for his versatility and his mastery in different facets of the game. Although he is not a classic ‘5’, his adaptation to the double pivot at Betis suggests a good fit in Simeone’s scheme.
He recovers balls, distributes the game, presses tirelessly and, in addition, has a powerful shot from outside the area. A very complete midfielder! Another point in his favor is that he would not occupy a non-EU spot, as he has an Italian passport.
Among his role models are Kaká, Busquets and Rodri, the latter considered by Cardoso as “the best in the world.” However, Tottenham is also interested in the player and has a preferential option during the first days of July. The final decision is in Cardoso’s hands, who will have to choose his next destination. We will be attentive to the news!
