United States national team midfielder Johnny Cardoso has completed a transfer to Atlético Madrid from Real Betis.
Sources had told ESPN that Cardoso was a top target for Diego Simeone, who was keen to boost his defensive midfield options.
Tottenham Hotspur obtained a priority option to sign the USMNT international as part of the deal that sent Giovani Lo Celso to Betis in 2024, but he will remain in LaLiga after a year-and-half spell at Betis.
