This summer Tottenham Hotspur will almost certainly shop on the La Liga market, since they have a seductive clause with which they can sign real Betis -midfielder Johnny Cardoso for a reduced prize, which was agreed last August as part of the deal that Giovani Lo Celso returned to Los Verblancos.
In recent weeks it has been reported that Spurs will try to activate the clause they have for Cardoso, because they see the American defending midfielder as a player adding value to their first team team. However, it is not guaranteed that a deal takes place, even if this happens, because the player himself does not show any signs of wanting a move.
Earlier this week, Cardoso spoke with El Chiringuito (via Ed) about his desire to stay with Betis for a while, and he is also desperate to secure Champions League qualification – something that Spurs can only do if they win the European League of this season.
“I am very happy here and I hope that I can continue to enjoy myself for many years. Qualification for the Champions League? It's our dream and goal.”
In recent weeks it has been reported that Betis expects Cardoso to leave, which is why they have started watching possible replacements. However, these quotes must hope that the interest of Spurs will be removed during the summer transfer window, which would be wonderful news.
Cardoso is an excellent Betis player since his arrival of Internacional in the winter of 2024. He has nailed a starting point under head coach Manuel Pellegrini, who would make his departure all the more painful if it happened. But for now there are opportunities for him to stay with the Benito Villamarin.
