Chelsea willing to offer €35m for Tottenham-linked star, but Spurs have advantage in race

Chelsea have been linked with a move for the Atletico Madrid midfielder Johnny Cardoso at the end of the season.

According to a report from Fichajes, they would be willing to offer €35 million in order to sign the 23-year-old United States international. 

The player has been heavily linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur in recent months. The North London club secured a first refusal on him when they sold Giovani Lo Celso to Real Betis. Tottenham can sign the player for a set fee of around €25 million.
