Johnny Cardoso Transfer News
According to Tuttosport, Johnny Cardoso is being tracked by Juventus. Serie A’s most successful club have endured a fairly underwhelming 2024-25 campaign and view Johnny as an ideal candidate to boost their midfield.
Interestingly, Johnny would be the third USMNT star on the Old Lady‘s roster. Weston McKennie and Timothy Weah already ply their trade at the Allianz Stadium.
The main hurdle that stands in Juve’s way comes in the shape of English Premier League side Tottenham. Spurs acquired a non-mandatory €25million purchase option for Johnny this summer.
That was part of the deal that saw Giovani Lo Celso leave the Lilywhites for Betis last season. However, it still remains to be seen whether Ange Postecoglou’s side will exercise the option to sign Johnny.
As it stands, the Bianconeri are on course to finish in the top four this season. Therefore securing Champions League soccer in 2025-26.
Spurs have endured a hugely disappointing campaign and currently find themselves languishing in 17th position in the Premier League rankings.
The north Londoners do have a trump card they can play. Victory over Man United in the Europa League final will also seem them secure UCL soccer next season.
