Fiorentina face growing risk of Dodo exit without fee
Fiorentina could lose right-back Dodo for nothing when his contract ends in 2027, with no renewal talks currently planned. The club has spent two years trying to extend him, but discussions have stalled, partly because of agent commission demands. Nottingham Forest and Olympiacos previously showed interest, while Napoli are monitoring the situation, though Max Allegri's confidence in Constantino Favasuli may prevent an immediate move for another right-back.
Fiorentina came close to offloading Dodo during the summer window, with Nottingham Forest and Olympiacos submitting bids. Because his contract is set to expire in summer 2027, a sale then would have let the club recover some value rather than risk a free departure.
Talks over a new deal have effectively gone quiet. A 2024 breakthrough looked possible, but it never materialized; a reported disagreement over agent fees is one factor. Napoli are still tracking him, though Max Allegri’s trust in Constantino Favasuli may delay any move for another right-back.
If Dodo leaves without a fee, Fiorentina may have less money to reinvest, potentially affecting squad quality and supporters’ expectations. The player and his representatives could gain leverage, while clubs may review contract and agent-negotiation strategies. Fans and local businesses tied to matchday activity might feel indirect effects if performance or spending changes.
