Dodô

Executive Summary

Dodô, full name Domilson Cordeiro dos Santos, is a Brazilian right-back born on 17 November 1998. He currently plays for ACF Fiorentina, where his deal runs until 30 June 2027. With no renewal agreed, his future has become a live transfer question rather than a settled matter.

Playing Style and Key Attributes

He plays at right-back, is right-footed, and stands at 166 cm, giving him a compact frame for the position.

Career and Recent Context

His career began at Coritiba, moving from the U20 side to the first team in January 2016. He joined Shakhtar Donetsk in April 2018 for €2m, spent a loan spell at Vitória Guimarães from July 2018, then returned to Shakhtar in June 2019. He moved to Fiorentina in July 2022 for €15.4m and has been there since. Fiorentina have tried to extend his contract for two years, with talks appearing close at one point in 2024, but no agreement has followed.

Transfers and Outlook

Nottingham Forest and Olympiacos made offers in the summer, though Dodô was not keen on the Forest move. Napoli continue to monitor him, while Juventus and AC Milan are also reported to be watching his situation. One reason no renewal has been agreed is that his agents may have asked for a significant commission, which Fiorentina did not accept. With no renewal on the horizon and no meetings scheduled, Fiorentina face a real risk of losing him for free when his contract expires.
