Nottingham Forest are intensifying their efforts to secure Fiorentina right-back Dodô before the summer transfer window closes.
The 27-year-old Brazilian has emerged as a primary target for the Reds, with negotiations moving into an advanced stage according to Sports Witness reports as Forest look to wrap up a deal for the experienced defender.
Personal Terms Agreed as Clubs Negotiate Final Fee
Dodô, who joined La Viola from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2022 and featured 47 times last season, has entered the final year of his contract. To avoid losing him on a free transfer next summer, Fiorentina are open to a sale.
Reports from Viola News indicate that Forest are “very close” to a total breakthrough. The player has already agreed personal terms on a four-year contract to make the switch to the East Midlands. The remaining hurdle lies in the valuation between the two clubs:
- Fiorentina’s Asking Price: €12m
- Nottingham Forest’s Offer: ~€10m
- The Gap: €2m (expected to be bridged via structured performance-related bonuses)
A Familiar Face Awaits at the City Ground
Should the transfer cross the finish line, Dodô will be reunited with former Fiorentina teammate Nikola Milenković, adding further depth and proven European pedigree to Oliver Glasner backline ahead of a demanding campaign.
While a €2m valuation gap remains, all parties are pushing toward a resolution. With personal terms settled and Fiorentina motivated to sell, Forest are well-positioned to finalize the deal and deliver another shrewd addition to their defensive ranks.
