Rome Moves to Finalize Dodo Deal with Official Offer of 12 Million Euros

AS Roma has begun serious steps to sign Brazilian full-back Dodo during the summer transfer window, after submitting an official offer to Fiorentina valued at 12 million euros to acquire the player.

According to Italian media, Roma's management views Dodo as the ideal choice to strengthen the right-back position in the new coach's project, especially after the impressive performances the player has delivered in a Fiorentina jersey in recent seasons.

Despite the official arrival of the first offer, Fiorentina does not seem ready to easily part with the player, as reports indicate that the club values Dodo at a higher amount than the offer made, which means that negotiations between the two parties are likely to continue in the coming days.

The Brazilian international is highly regarded within Fiorentina's ranks due to his offensive abilities and great speed on the right flank, which has made him one of the standout full-backs in the Italian league in recent times.

For its part, Roma is looking to expedite negotiations to avoid other clubs entering the deal, especially since the player is attracting interest from several European teams closely monitoring his situation.

The coming hours will be crucial to determine whether the initial offer will convince Fiorentina to open negotiations, or if Roma will have to improve their financial offer to secure one of the most significant potential deals in the Italian transfer market this summer.
