Giovani Lo Celso left Tottenham Hotspur and returned to Real Betis in the last window. As part of the deal, Spurs have obtained an option to buy Johnny Cardoso next summer.
Last week, Real Betis president Ángel Haro spoke about the Spurs clause. He also stated Tottenham will be entitled to receive a percentage of a fee, if the La Liga side were to sell Cardoso to another club.
AC Milan are in the picture to sign the 23-year-old in 2025, according to Calciomercato. They have included the American and Red Bull Salzburg’s Lucas Gourna-Douath in their target list.
The website points out Tottenham’s clause for Cardoso. This could be key for them to beat the Rossoneri, who lost 3-1 to Liverpool in the Champions League last week.
Estadio Deportivo are also discussing the Serie A side’s interest in the Real Betis player.
He’s been limited to 46 minutes from two league games this season. This hasn’t had an impact on his suitors as Cardoso continues to attract interest from Milan.
Estadio join Calciomercato in informing Paulo Fonseca’s side that Tottenham can sign the player by exercising the €25m clause next summer.
If Milan were to win the battle for signature, Tottenham would still benefit from the sell-on clause.
