AC Milan want to sign £21m player but Tottenham have already agreed a deal
Tottenham have edge over AC Milan in the race to sign La Liga midfielder.
Spurs sold Giovani Lo Celso to Real Betis in the summer transfer window.
In that same deal, they negotiated that the La Liga side would have to inform the Premier League side about any bid for Johnny Cardoso.
The Lilywhites have to be informed about any move for the United States international and they will be offered the chance to sign the player for £21m.
Milan would be disappointed to find out that Spurs have first option to make a move for the player.
Even if Milan submit a bid for the player, Real Betis are obliged to tell Spurs about that and give them the option to sign him before any other club.
It is a clever move made by Ange Postecoglou’s team, who have done smart business in the summer transfer window.
It has not translated on the pitch so far for them after the club have just won four points in the first four games of the season but in the long term, it is highly expected to benefit the club.
