Calciomercato.com reports that Fiorentina defender Dodô is at the centre of controversy in Florence as his contract approaches its expiry in the coming months. The report questions whether the Brazilian has been left out of the squad, is not yet fully fit or has simply fallen behind in the team’s pecking order. It also focuses on the situation surrounding a possible renewal, but provides no confirmation of an agreement or extension. The available information does not indicate any negotiations with another club or a completed move. Dodô’s current status at Fiorentina therefore remains the main subject of the report.
