Tottenham have £21m agreement in place for new signing, he’s set to move
Tottenham already have a £21million deal prepared ahead of the summer.
The Lilywhites have already geared towards a turbulent window after Ange Postecoglou was relieved of his duties in North London.
Although no replacement has been named at this stage, work will still continue to gear towards potential business ready for the new Premier League season.
This has seen an agreement be reached over a potential deal at Spurs, with a summer move looking increasingly likely.
Tottenham already agreed £21m transfer
As it stands, it is unclear as to who will lead the N17 outfit into the campaign after Daniel Levy pulled the sack trigger on the Australian.
This brought to an end weeks of uncertainty, with a new direction set to be taken up by the chairman after a 17th-place finish last time out.
With a view to doing exactly that, incoming transfer business has to be smart and done in a way to improve the squad in the most financially efficient way.
This could be in line already after a report from the Sunday People (8 June, page 59), outlined Spurs’ £21m first-option clause for Johnny Cardoso.
The Real Betis midfielder has had this agreement in place in North London since last summer, remaining in LaLiga for the season.
It looks as if Tottenham are going to miss out on the 23-year-old after an agreement was reached with Atletico Madrid ahead of the summer.
This hasn’t been helped by the uncertainty of Postecoglou’s situation, which has seen the Lilywhites fail to trigger their two-week window to sign the USA international.
Tottenham to miss out on Cardoso signing
After reaching the Conference League final with Betis, there was always likely to be interest in the midfielder at the end of the campaign.
Many thought the North Londoners would activate their option for Cardoso and bring the American to the Premier League, ready for the new season.
| Stat (LaLiga 24/25) | Johnny Cardoso |
| Appearances | 28 |
| Goal involvements | 4 |
| Tackles won | 31 |
| Duels won | 137 |
This doesn’t appear to be the case, given that there is no manager in the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium dugout as it stands.
Brentford boss Thomas Frank has emerged as the favourite, but unfortunately, the midfielder may have moved to Atleti before giving the Dane a chance to make a decision.
