Johnny Cardoso
23-Year-Old
Atlético Madrid
La Liga
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Cardoso played a career-high 2,143 minutes last season, locking down a regular role as a defensive midfielder alongside Pablo Fornals. With 11 more appearances than the year before, he led Betis in interceptions (48), ranked second in tackles won (31), and was fourth in clearances (63), trailing only the club's three centerbacks. His place in the starting XI is nearly guaranteed for 2025-26-possibly his final season with Betis if his development continues at this pace.
Signs with Atletico Madrid
Cardoso has completed a transfer to Atletico Madrid from Betis, according to his new club.
ANALYSIS
Cardoso is going to remain in La Liga but is finally making his anticipated move, as he has signed with Atletico Madrid for the next five seasons. He is coming off a career season with Betis, starting in 24 of his 28 appearances while recording three goals and one assist, being slightly hindered by a few injuries. He will likely look to assume a starting role early in his time with the club, a solid presence in the defensive portion of the midfield that has proven he can compete in La Liga.
