Tottenham Hotspur are one of five clubs keen on signing Real Betis’ Johnny Cardoso.
That’s according to Diario de Sevilla, who state Tottenham are ‘really interested’ in the midfielder.
He overcame issues at the start of the season and has regained his best level at the La Liga side. This hasn’t gone unnoticed as several clubs are showing interest in the 23-year-old.
The newspaper makes it clear that this is their own information, and they have found out that Tottenham, AC Milan, Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid are among the clubs looking at the American. The detail of the fifth club hasn’t been mentioned.ut they are from Spain.
It’s claimed all these clubs are ‘really interested’, with the Serie A side following Cardoso for a long time.
Last summer, Tottenham sold Giovani Lo Celso to Manuel Pellegrini’s side and as part of the deal, they secured an option – valid in June – to buy Cardoso for €30m. If a club were to offer more money during that period, Spurs have to match it to sign him.
The newspaper highlights this and then adds that the five ‘most interested’ clubs haven’t made any offers so far. They add the player has a ‘real option’ of joining the north London club, likely next summer.
Cardoso’s entourage insists he’s happy at Real Betis and wants to continue there, but his club have other plans.
Pellegrini’s side have to raise at least €20m to balance their books before June 30th and the American is the best chance they have to raise funds.
