The left-back has emerged as a potential target for Diego Simeone ahead of the January transfer window, with Atletico reportedly considering him as an option to strengthen their defence.
However, Cardona says he is paying little attention to the speculation and does not want transfer talk to distract him during an important period for Villarreal.
Asked about Atletico Madrid's reported interest during a club event in Castellon, the 27-year-old made his position clear.
"Zero news, I don't pay attention to everything that appears. Basically because I lose my energy and it won't bring me anything," he said.
Cardona is one of a number of Villarreal players whose contracts expire at the end of the season, and there have been no discussions with the club over an extension.
The defender acknowledged that his future is not something he intends to address at present, with Villarreal needing to concentrate on improving their results.
"Now is not the time to talk about these things given the situation the team is in. It is a moment of need, of focusing on winning the next match and not getting distracted," he added.
Atletico's interest is not entirely new. The Madrid club previously considered Cardona during the 2023-24 season, when he was playing for Las Palmas and approaching the end of his contract.
His performances at Villarreal have now brought him back onto their radar as they assess possible reinforcements for the left side of their defence.
Cardona, though, is determined not to allow the reports to affect his work. He also addressed Villarreal's recent form, highlighting the importance of the team's response in their victory over Getafe after a difficult run of results.
"There are positives to take from the team's reaction after a difficult week and in a match that wasn't easy against Getafe," he said.
"We had been in a good dynamic, getting to grips with the concepts, and the defeat against Espanyol hurt us mentally. It showed against PSG. We are a team in growth but we have to take a step forward."
The defender believes Villarreal are still developing but knows they must translate that progress into greater consistency.
He was also reluctant to discuss long-term ambitions or the league table, preferring to concentrate on the next challenge rather than speculate about where the club might finish.
"I don't look at the table, it's not the time. We'll do that when we get into a good run of form, which will come. It's time to switch off a little and then think about what's coming. You can't look any further ahead because there are so many matches," he explained.
"When we come back, we have to focus on the match against Barcelona."
With his contract situation unresolved and Atletico reportedly monitoring him, Cardona could become an interesting name in the January market. For now, however, his message is that Villarreal's immediate needs take priority over speculation about his future.
