Atletico Madrid Signs Cardoso
COMMUNITY OF MADRID, SPAIN, JUL 16 – Johnny Cardoso, a 23-year-old US international with 22 caps, joins Atlético Madrid on a five-year deal to strengthen their midfield after finishing third in La Liga last season.
- On July 16, 2025, Atletico Madrid announced the signing of 23-year-old American holding midfielder Johnny Cardoso, who joined the club from Real Betis on a deal lasting five years.
- Cardoso, who holds an Italian passport and has Brazilian heritage, was born in the U.S., so he does not count as a non-European Union player in Diego Simeone's lineup.
- Cardoso began his career in Brazil before transferring to Betis for the 2023-24 campaign, and he earned 22 appearances for the US senior team, making his debut in 2020 in a match against Wales.
- He was part of the team that secured the CONCACAF Nations League titles in both 2023 and 2024 but had to withdraw from the squad in March 2025 because of a muscle injury during Mauricio Pochettino’s tenure as coach.
- Atletico's signing of Cardoso and others like Thiago Almada, Baena, and Ruggeri aims to strengthen the squad after finishing third in LaLiga last season and an early Club World Cup exit.
