Real Betis set to sign incoming player in January without the need for a non-EU spot for registration

Real Betis is gearing up for a busy winter transfer window, and their first signing has already been secured. 22-year-old midfielder Johnny Cardoso, a member of the United States national team, will be joining the team from Brazilian side Internacional in the coming days. Cardoso is seen as the long-term successor for Guido Rodriguez, and his arrival has been expedited after the Argentine suffered a serious injury. The good news for Betis is that Cardoso holds an Italian passport, so he won’t take up a non-EU spot on the team. With potential movement on the horizon for other non-EU players, Betis is shaping up for an eventful transfer period.

Real Betis signs US midfielder Johnny Cardoso from Brazilian side Internacional in a move that could see him replace Guido Rodriguez. The 22-year-old is expected to arrive during the winter transfer window, with hopes that he can fill the void left by the injured Argentine. Cardoso, who holds an Italian passport, will not occupy a non-EU spot, allowing Betis to potentially free up a spot for another player. This move could see Brazilian midfielder Luiz Henrique leaving the club in January.
