More news from Transfer market
It was a key move to close the deal for Gio Lo Celso. As Ángel Haro himself explained days after the closing of the transfer market, Tottenham reserved an option to purchase Johnny Cardoso for next summer and in England, where they are closely monitoring his developments, they are still hallucinating with what was agreed: “It’s incredible.”
The name of Johnny Cardoso, since the purchase option obtained by Tottenham last summer was announced, has filled a multitude of news in England and with the arrival of the international break, logically, there are many who have remembered this operation.
The middle Football Insider has gone further and questioned Paul Robinson, former Tottenham goalkeeper between 2004 and 2008, about the situation. The goalkeeper, who played 175 games for the Spurs, He believes that it is an “incredible” operation and that it will rarely be repeated in history.
“They are in a situation where you always win: Either you get a top-tier player, who has almost doubled in value in six months, or you get a share when he sells. He is only 23 years old, he has played 17 matches for the USA and has a lot of room to improve,” he says before adding that “there is a lot of talent here, but it is interesting to follow him closely. Is he ready to be a starter? “I don’t know, I don’t know where he would fit, but he’s a good player for the team.”
Tottenham’s conditions with Johnny Cardoso
Tottenham will have the possibility of acquiring the North American’s services in June 2025. It is not a preferential option, as initially stated, but rather a standard purchase option with a fixed price of 25 million euros.
“Johnny is a player that is of interest not only to Tottenham, but to many other teams, who has a great projection and in this case, within the Gio (Lo Celso) operation, they asked us for a purchase option for a value that for us It was important and interesting and we did give him that option,” Ángel Haro explained at the time.

Any other clubs potentially following this model in the future?
Interviewer: Welcome to World Today News. Today, we have the pleasure of speaking with Paul Robinson, former Tottenham goalkeeper and Alex, a professional soccer analyst. We’re here to discuss the transfer of Johnny Cardoso to Tottenham and the opportunities that arise from this deal. Paul, as a former player yourself, what is your perspective on the transfer of Cardoso to Tottenham?
Paul Robinson: It’s an incredible deal for Tottenham. To be able to secure the services of a young and talented player like Johnny Cardoso, who has shown a lot of potential, for a fixed price of €25 million is quite unheard of in the world of football transfers. It’s a no-brainer for any club to take up such an offer, especially when you consider the potential upside of his development. He’s only 23 years old and has a lot of room to improve.
Interviewer: Alex, as a soccer analyst, could you please provide more insight into the potential benefits of this transfer?
Alex: Absolutely. Tottenham’s approach here is very strategic. By securing Cardoso’s services, they have the option to either develop him into a top-tier player or sell him at a significant profit. The value of the player has increased dramatically in just six months, which shows his potential for growth. The competition for his services would be fierce as he has a lot of talent and room to improve. Also, the presence of other North American players in Premier League clubs like Bale, Pulisic, and Reyna, shows that the interest in the region is growing.
Interviewer: Paul, you mentioned that the deal is rare and will likely not be repeated in history. Could you expand on that?
Paul Robinson: Well, it’s not often that a club gets such a clear-cut situation where they can either keep a player and benefit from his development or sell him at a significant profit. Usually, it’s either-or. Here, they get to make the decision based on the player’s performance. It’s a great position to be in, and I don’t think many clubs will be able to replicate this type of deal in the future.
Interviewer: Alex, do you agree with Paul’s assessment? And do you see
