Tottenham Hotspur have been subject to aggressive links with a move to bring highly regarded midfielder Johnny Cardoso to White Hart Lane in the 2025 transfer interval as Daniel Levy looks to ensure that he gives the needed midfield depth to Australian head coach Ange Postecoglou.
The North Londoners have been looking to bring in a new midfielder (maybe two) in the upcoming transfer window as they look to replace the influence of the veteran departures of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Gio Lo Celso in the off season. And a move for the USMNT maestro has been on cards at Hotspur Way, given the fact that Tottenham hold the option to land his signatures on a bargain transfer.
Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano on X acknowledged how Spurs have agreed a priority option with Spanish giants to land the 23-year-old midfielder as part of the deal that took Argentine maestro Giovani Lo Celso to Betis.
Could Villa steal Cardoso from under Tottenham’s nose?
However, Spurs interest hasn’t stopped other clubs from pursuing a potential transfer for the midfielder, with Atletico Madrid already registering interest in his signatures. Now, Premier League giants Aston Villa have been looking to make a move for the 23-year-old.
Unai Emery is said to be the driving force pursuing his signatures as they look to beat Tottenham in his pursuit, per Ficherio, and the Villans have Monchi, who is sporting director at Aston Villa, who knows the Spanish top tier inside out, and his expertise may worry Levy.
