Johnny Cardoso
23-Year-Old
Atlético Madrid
La Liga
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Cardoso made the summer move to Atletico after a bit of a breakthrough at Betis last season where he made 24 starts as a defensive midfielder. It's a massive step up for the soon-to-be 24-year-old, and he'll undoubtedly face more competition for minutes in the loaded Atletico midfield. Throw in a deep midfield with an already lack of upside, most of Cardoso's fantasy value will come from defensive stats. If he's not guaranteed 90 minutes most games, he'll struggle to be relevant.
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.
