Johnny Cardoso will not play in the Club World Cup with Atlético de Madrid 2cc28

Johnny Cardoso has established himself as one of the major revelations of Real Betis this season, and his performance has not gone unnoticed in the capital. Atlético Madrid has set its sights on the American midfielder and has advanced in his g for the summer transfer window. Although the Madrid side had hoped to close the deal before the start of the Club World Cup, negotiations between the two clubs have not reached a successful conclusion in time.

The green-and-white club has stood firm in negotiations, aware of the value of their player and the genuine interest he generates. Betis considers the midfielder a key piece and, therefore, is not willing to let him go for less than they deem fair. Atlético, on the other hand, continues to pursue Cardoso, convinced that he would fit perfectly into Simeone's system, but has chosen not to rush and postpone the final agreement.

Both parties continue to exchange views, although the financial differences do not seem insurmountable. The figures being discussed for the transfer revolve around €30 million, a sum that Atlético could reach through variables and sporting objectives. Meanwhile, Johnny remains focused on his daily routine with Betis, though he is aware that his move to a Champions League team is drawing closer.

In Heliópolis, they already acknowledge that retaining the young talent will be difficult, while at the Metropolitano, they see him as a strategic investment to strengthen the midfield. Barring any setbacks, it is a matter of weeks before the deal takes definite shape, and the player definitively moves from Seville to Madrid to face a new challenge in his career.
