Fiorentina ‘to resume’ Dodo talks after failed Nottingham Forest and Roma pursuits | OneFootball

Fiorentina are set to resume contract talks with Brazilian right-back Dodô, seeking to end a two-year stalemate over his long-term future.

La Gazzetta dello Sport suggests that head coach Paolo Vanoli views the 27-year-old as a key asset, yet the unresolved deal remains a headache for the hierarchy.

Sporting director Fabio Paratici and technical director Roberto Goretti will meet the player’s entourage to push a contract running to June 2030 with a wage increase. Discussions have been stuck since May 2024.

The summer window brought widespread interest across Europe. Roma and Napoli made preliminary enquiries but did not follow up with firm bids.

Nottingham Forest and Olympiacos submitted formal approaches. Dodô rejected a move to the Greek side, and he stayed in Florence after failing to secure an alternative before the deadline.

With the market now closed, Fiorentina hope to break the deadlock and secure his commitment.
