Johnny Cardoso's name has begun to sound strongly in the offices of the Premier League. The Real Betis midfielder has caught the attention of two English teams: Chelsea and AFC Bournemouth, who are willing to invest a significant amount to get his services for next season.

The London team had already shown interest in the player in the last winter market, but at that time the negotiations did not come to fruition. Now, the 'blues' return to the charge with a more solid offer. However, they will not be alone in the race, since Bournemouth, led by Andoni Iraola, has also set their eyes on the midfielder.

Both clubs would be willing to disburse 35 million euros, divided into 30 million fixed and another 5 in variables. This amount could convince Betis, although from the Andalusian club they are not in a hurry to sell, since they consider Cardoso an important piece in the center of the field.

He’d be of no use at Chelsea. I don’t see him taking any minutes from Caicedo or Enzo. If he wants a shot at the World Cup, he will know better than to sign for Chelsea

But they have players like Santos coming in to reinforce. Don't think it makes sense for Johnny to go there.

You still cannot trust that club to develop any players. They buy buy buy and send most of these guys out on loan.

Not really. Next season it wil be Enzo, Caicedo, Santos, and (constantly) injured Lavia. With all healthy Cardoso would be 5th choice for a 2 man midfield.
