Inter are assessing Fiorentina wing-back Dodo as a potential option after missing out on João Cancelo, with the Nerazzurri urgently looking to reinforce the right flank.
According to FCInterNews, The situation has become pressing for Inter.
Denzel Dumfries is set to be sidelined for a lengthy period, while Luis Henrique is currently the only natural right-sided option available to Cristian Chivu, aside from tactical adaptations.
For this reason, Inter are evaluating alternative solutions that can be delivered quickly. Among the names being discussed at Viale della Liberazione is Dodo, the Brazilian wing-back currently at Fiorentina.
Inter Consider Fiorentina Man Dodo As ‘Stop-Gap’ Solution As Dumfries Crisis Continues
The 1998-born defender is not viewed as a long-term investment. Instead, Inter see him as a possible short-term solution to cover the position until the end of the season, following the collapse of the Cancelo deal.
However, negotiations would be far from simple. Fiorentina have been working for months on a contract renewal for Dodo, whose current deal expires in June 2027.
The Viola are aiming to extend it until 2029, with an option until 2030.
However, an agreement has not yet been reached with the player.
If Fiorentina were to consider a sale, it would only be on a permanent basis.
Their valuation of the Brazilian stands between €20 million and €25 million.
Indeed, figures that Inter are currently unwilling to meet.
Inter’s preference is for a loan deal with a purchase option that could become an obligation under specific conditions.
Another idea has been the inclusion of Kristjan Asllani, returning from his loan at Torino.
However, that proposal does not particularly appeal to Fiorentina.
Dodo is average at best
Given past history, I do not any meaningful transfer activity this January. All I see are rumors.
