Roma continues pursuit of Fiorentina right-back Dodó
AS Roma is actively working to sign Dodó, a Brazilian right-back born in 1998 currently at Fiorentina, as head coach Gian Piero Gasperini seeks to strengthen the club's flanks ahead of the upcoming season. The Giallorossi have initiated contact with Fiorentina over a deal for the defender. Fiorentina's initial asking price is €18 million, though negotiations could potentially reach a compromise around €12–13 million. Fiorentina's director Paratici recently signaled openness to the player's departure, stating: "He has ambitions, we will evaluate the best outcome." Napoli had also been tracking Dodó, but that interest has cooled as the Partenopei redirect their focus toward acquiring Gila. Roma's pursuit reflects the club's priority to bolster its external defensive positions, with the signing aimed at providing Gasperini with defensive reinforcement on the flanks. The transfer window remains active, and discussions between the two clubs are ongoing as Roma seeks to finalize the arrangement in the coming weeks.
