Sources: USMNT's Cardoso top target for Atletico
Briefly

Atlético Madrid is prioritizing Real Betis midfielder Johnny Cardoso as they seek to enhance their midfield for the upcoming season. Coach Diego Simeone has long sought a defensive midfielder, having previously tried to sign Éderson from Atalanta. Despite signing Arthur Vermeeren in January, Atlético is focusing on Cardoso, who has notable LaLiga experience, but might face competition from Tottenham Hotspur. The club plans to negotiate a lower transfer fee for Cardoso, who has a contract until 2030 with an €80m release clause, which is considered negotiable.
