Johnny Cardoso’s reported move to La Liga has become official.
Cardoso has officially joined Real Betis on a permanent move from Internacional, both clubs announced Tuesday. He has signed a five-year contract, which will take him through December 2028.
Spanish outlet Relevo reported on the proposed transfer back in October, with Internacional set to receive $6.3 million (€6 million) and a future 20% sell-on clause from Real Betis for his services.
The U.S. men’s national team midfielder 49 combined appearances for Internacional this season, which included a run to the Copa Libertadores semifinals. The 22-year-old broke into the Internacional first team in 2020 and has proceeded to total seven goals and three assists in 144 appearances for the club.
A Denville, New Jersey native, Cardoso opted to represent the United States and has earned nine caps to date for the USMNT. He recently featured during the October international window against Germany and Ghana.
Real Betis are currently seventh in La Liga with 28 points earned through 18 matches. Manuel Pellegrini’s squad also remain in the Copa Del Rey and Europa Conference League competitions.
