Tottenham Hotspur's pursuit of American midfielder Johnny Cardoso is facing challenges, as he expresses his commitment to Real Betis and desire to stay long-term. Although Spurs have a €21 million purchase option due to a previous deal, Cardoso's recent statements indicate he is happy in Seville and not looking to move to the Premier League. Since joining Betis, Cardoso has become a key player under coach Manuel Pellegrini, contributing to the team's success and earning a long-term contract through 2030, which hampers Tottenham's intentions.
I'm very happy here and I hope I can continue enjoying myself at Betis for many years to come.
Cardoso's latest comments suggest he is not interested in the move.
Betis moved swiftly to tie him down to a long-term contract, extending his deal until 2030.
Tottenham had identified Cardoso as a prime target for their midfield revamp, hoping to integrate him into Ange Postecoglou's squad.
