He played in Brazil, shines in Europe and could be the new Fabinho with Arne Slot at Liverpool

Liverpool are reportedly keen on signing Real Betis midfielder Johnny Cardoso, the talented young American with Brazilian roots who rose through the ranks at Internacional.

The Reds are said to be monitoring the situation of the 23-year-old, who has impressed with his performances in La Liga since his move from Porto Alegre. Cardoso’s ability to dictate the tempo of play, his defensive solidity, and his knack for finding the net have caught the eye of Liverpool manager Arne Slot.

A potential move for Cardoso could see the Brazilian-American become the latest in a long line of South American talents to grace Anfield. The Reds have a history of developing young players and integrating them into their first team, and Cardoso fits the profile of the kind of player they are looking to bring in.

However, any deal for Cardoso is likely to be complicated by the fact that he is a key player for Real Betis. The Spanish club will be reluctant to lose one of their most promising young talents, and they are likely to demand a significant fee for his services.

Liverpool’s interest in Cardoso is a testament to the player’s talent and potential. If a deal can be struck, it would be a major coup for the Reds, who are looking to strengthen their midfield options ahead of the new season.
