La Liga
Atlético de Madrid has intensified contacts in the last few hours to incorporate Johnny Cardoso, the central midfielder from Real Betis, who has become one of the absolute priorities to strengthen the team's core for the upcoming season. After the official end of the verdiblanco ensemble, which concluded with their participation in the Conference League final, there are no longer obstacles at the Metropolitano to move decisively in negotiations.
The perfect player for Simeone
Cardoso, who has fully convinced the rojiblanca sports management with his talent, projection, and maturity despite his youth, is determined to wear the rojiblanco colors. His excellent performance, especially against top teams like Chelsea, has confirmed that he is ready to compete at the highest European level and sees Atlético as the ideal place for the definitive leap forward.
Although Tottenham has a preferential right to acquire the player for 25 million euros, according to MARCA, this option will not be exercised because the player himself has clearly stated his desire to join Madrid. Thus, the colchonero club is already working to agree with Betis on the economic terms of the operation, which could even include Rodrigo Riquelme's name as part of the deal.
