FC Barcelona targets Fiorentina defender Dodo

FC Barcelona is monitoring Fiorentina right-back Dodo as a potential free agent transfer. The 27-year-old Brazilian defender is a target for the Catalan club to bolster a defensive line currently lacking specialized options at the right-back position. While players like Eric Garcia and Jules Kounde have filled the role, they are primarily central defenders.

Dodo, who joined Fiorentina from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2022, has gained significant experience in Serie A. His contract situation has drawn interest from several major clubs, including Juventus and Inter Milan, who are also looking to strengthen their defenses. If Dodo does not renew his contract with Fiorentina by January, Barcelona may be able to begin preliminary negotiations for a pre-contract agreement to secure him for the summer.
