Spanish media: Atletico Madrid intends to sign Cardoso, but Betis will not give in to the player s transfer fee

According to Spanish media eldesmarque, Atletico Madrid intends to sign Betis midfielder Cardoso, but Betis will never give in to the player's transfer fee.

Although the club has initial contact with Atletico Madrid and plans to continue negotiations in the next few days, Betis is very clear about the bottom line of Cardoso's transfer fee: no less than €35 million plus some floating clauses, the total amount may be close to €40 million.

It is worth noting that Betis is not in a hurry to complete the deal. Their work is going well and there is no need to rush to make a payment by July 1, so they will take the initiative in the deal and they will not lower the asking price.

As for Cardoso, although there are many clubs interested in him, Atletico Madrid is currently in the lead. However, the final decision lies with the two clubs. The player himself was satisfied with Simeone's choice and believed that Wanda Metropolitan Stadium was the ideal stage for his growth, but he would not force his departure or interfere with Betis' economic requirements.

Cardoso is very grateful to Betis, who gave him the opportunity to land in Europe, and understands that the club will fight for every penny before reaching an agreement. Meanwhile, Betis is also ready to act quickly after Cardoso's transfer to find a replacement.

Atlan Madrid still has multiple positions to fill in the new season, depending on the current players' stay (for many years, Atletico Madrid usually introduces new players after selling one player). For example, in the left-back position, Italian media said they are interested in Special O, while the right-back depends on Namolina's future. However, the current priority is still to sign Baena and Cardoso.
