Fiorentina to resume Dodo talks after failed Nottingham Forest and Roma pursuits

Fiorentina to resume Dodo talks after failed Nottingham Forest and Roma pursuits Fiorentina are set to reopen contract extension talks with Brazilian right-back Dodô, despite a two-year negotiation stalemate continuing to cast doubt over his long-term future at the Stadio Artemio Franchi. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport , whilst head coach Paolo Vanoli considers the 27-year-old a key asset on the pitch, resolving his contractual situation remains a lingering headache for the club hierarchy. Sporting director Fabio Paratici and technical director Roberto Goretti will meet with the player’s entourage to push for a deal through to June 2030, complete with a wage increase. However, negotiations have remained locked in an impasse since discussions first began in May 2024.

Both Roma and Napoli launched preliminary inquiries without following up with concrete offers. Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest and Olympiacos made formal approaches for the full-back. However, Dodô rejected a move to the Greek side, ultimately leaving him in Florence beyond the deadline after failing to find an alternative landing spot. With the window now closed, Fiorentina hope to finally break the deadlock and secure his commitment.
