La Liga
The sporting management of FC Barcelona continues to work on building the squad for the upcoming season, and one of the priorities marked on Deco and Hansi Flick's agenda is to strengthen the right flank of the defense. Among the options being considered, the name of Dodò, current full-back of Fiorentina, has gained ground. He is having an excellent season in Serie A and was previously on the Catalan club's radar a couple of years ago.
The Brazilian international, 26 years old, was a significant investment for the Italian side, signed from Shakhtar Donetsk for a sum close to 15 million euros. Despite a serious injury, Dodò has returned to an excellent level and has become a key player for the 'Viola' team, which is competing for European competitions.
Discussions with Dodò's agent
According to 'Corriere dello Sport', the full-back has halted negotiations to renew his contract (valid until 2026) upon learning of Barça's interest. His agent, Giuliano Bertolucci, has an excellent relationship with the Blaugrana leadership and has already brought up Dodò's name in recent talks with Deco.
Dodò's profile is highly appreciated at Camp Nou for his attacking abilities, intensity, and international experience, having played in demanding leagues like the Portuguese, Ukrainian, and Italian leagues. Additionally, his name is added to a list that includes other full-backs like Vanderson, Frimpong, Marc Pubill, or Givairo Read.
The final decision will depend on both the transfer cost and the club's financial margin this summer, influenced by the need to reduce the wage bill through player departures.
