Real Betis have just announced a contract extension for Johnny Cardoso, their US midfield player, until 2030.

This won't affect the 25m euros (£21m equivalent) option to buy that Spurs negotiated in their deal to offload Lo Celso - the option can only be triggered in a 2 week period early in summer 2025 transfer window - if Spurs do not exercise their option the contract extension likely puts up the price of Cardosa who sems to remain Betis standout performer this season.

Possibly a good upgrade on Bissouma at a bargain price ? I assume Lange is keeping a constant eye on his performances.

Alternatively; don't we also have a sell on % clause too?

Required - First team good enough:

LCB
LB
RF(x2?)
LF
MF8
MF6/8
RCB (if Romero goes)

Dead wood to Shift

Richarlison
Bentancur
Johnson
Davies
(Kulusevski) if we can sign two decent RF's.

Wrong.

We won’t be getting rid of Kulu. Hes not deadwood. He’s literallly one of our best players.

Davies hopefully will get a contract extension. Club stalwart and deserves more respect than the likes of you give him. Ben is a great squad player to have around. You clearly don’t watch us play. Ever.

Thanks for sharing your views though, no matter how stupid and wrong they are.

I might foul vote you if you continue to troll about Kulu though.

Shut up and KYS. Stay in your lane boi.
 
Lot of the job during this window will depend on the fact whether we quality for Europe or not.

If not, then we will prolly even trim squad a little bit like getting rid of Richy, Biss, letting Forster and Werner go etc. And will buy only someone in place of Romero, maybe some RW like Dibling and thaths it...
 
Dread to think how we will fuck this one up.

Maybe there should be a poll at the top as to which area of the team people think will be left short after this window.

I'm still going with right wing.

I suspect the deal and or money distribution might have changed with his new contract - as his sales value is a lot higher to any 3rd party after contract extension which Betis would receive, so it maybe that Spurs get a bigger share in $ terms.

The thing is we have never seen anything explaining in detail what the whole clause was - just a few throw away comments to journalists - so no idea whether we are better off buying him at 25m and maybe reselling him 6 months later at double that price (which caps amount Betis gets to 25m) or whatever.

But Levy has a few months to go back to Betis with ideas on how to split the player sale proceeds to benefit both Betis and Spurs if an improved plan is needed

I'd assume any such clause would have been % based.

She has insisted that she has been able to "develop" as a player before mutually agreeing to terminate her contract
Taking to social media, Markovic shared her statement on Instagram along witha pictures of her time at the club.

She wrote: "Sometimes things don’t go as planned.

"After just half a season, I decided to leave SC Braga.

"It was a short but intense journey with ups and downs, but one in which I was able to grow and develop a lot as a footballer.

"The best part? Definitely my teammates.

"Thank you for your support, team spirit, and all the great moments on and off the pitch – you are amazing!

"A big thank you to the club for their professionalism throughout my time here and to the fans, for the support.

"The journey continues and I’m excited for what’s next!"

Braga released their own statement to confirming her exit from the club.

It read: "SC Braga informs that the Club and Ana Maria Marković have terminated, by mutual agreement, the contract that united the two parties.

"The Croatian international played four games for the Gverreiras do Minho in her debut season in Portuguese football.

"SC Braga thanks you for all the dedication, commitment and professionalism with which you have always represented the club and wishes you all the best in your professional and personal future."

People are banging on about getting in a top quality DM...while also claiming that Gray would or could be that quality DM in 1-2 seasons... 🤔
It's hard enough to get top quality DM in the first place - as there are no one available unless one pays a ransom - but no top DM will join Spurs while being told that the DM spot will be handed over to Gray once he's "read".
Give Gray the DM role now and to the end of this season, and if he plays well as a DM then let him keep it and develop him in that role.
And if Cardoso happens to have a stellar season then trigger the buy-option clause and keep him as an understudy DM (he'll still get plenty of time)
