Roma are seeking wingers to complete a midfield that has relied heavily on the play of Wesley, who scored five league goals in his Serie A debut.
Gian Piero Gasperini intends to raise the bar on the flanks, a crucial area of the pitch for the manager’s attacking play.
This is why the Roman club has set its sights on Fiorentina’s Dodo.
While waiting for the deal to be made official, Tony D’Amico will have to address Gasperini’s transfer priorities, and the focus is on Fiorentina’s Brazilian winger.
As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Fiorentina’s Dodo has gained momentum in recent hours. The Brazilian’s contract expires in 2027 and he’s at odds with the Viola.
Initial contact between the two clubs took place yesterday, with Dodo already offering himself to Roma and speaking with several Giallorossi players.
Fiorentina’s valuation is around €15 million, and Gasp appreciates his profile.
An all-Brazilian pairing along with Wesley could form on the flanks: plenty of pace at the coach’s disposal to boost the team. Dodo’s salary is also within Roma’s reach: he currently earns around €1.5 million net per season.
