Fiorentina Offer 2030 Extension to Lock Down Right-Back Dodô
Fiorentina have reopened contract extension negotiations with Dodô, offering a long-term deal that runs through June 2030 alongside a higher wage package. Club management wants to end a standoff that has dragged on since May 2024.
The 27-year-old right-back continues to serve as a core option in defense. He has spent the last few seasons building his reputation in Italian football.

Head coach Paolo Vanoli views the defender as a vital starter on the right side of his defensive unit. His energetic runs down the flank give the team width and balance during matches.
