Tottenham’s Cunning Deal to Land US Midfielder Johnny Cardoso: But There’s a Catch!
It looks like Tottenham have pulled off a masterstroke in the transfer window, but it’s not the expected one. While we were expecting big-money moves, it’s the little details that make the deal so shrewd.
As we reported earlier, Giovanni Lo Celso is on his way back to Real Betis for a reported €4 million, including bonuses. But, as it seems, Tottenham have gotten something else out of the deal.
They’ve signed a “priority option” to acquire Johnny Cardoso, the American midfielder who’s been linked with Tottenham for a while. Cardoso, a 20-year-old American international, has already agreed terms, according to the reliable transfer journalist, Fabrizio Romano.
What’s the catch? Well, it appears that Tottenham included a sell-on clause in the deal. Should they decide not to sign Cardoso, they’ll make a profit on the potential transfer.
While this news might have slipped under the radar, Cardoso is a talented young midfielder with a bright future ahead of him. Signing him could be a shrewd move by Spurs, potentially providing them with an alternative midfielder.
