Fiorentina right-back Dodo is emerging as the most likely candidate for Inter now that Chelsea beat them to Marco Palestra, but there is also interest from Napoli.
The Nerazzurri were all set to spend €45m plus €5m in add-ons to get Palestra from Atalanta, only to be massively out-bid by Chelsea last night at €60m including bonuses.
Dodo on Inter and Napoli radar
Now they are forced to find alternatives and Sportitalia transfer expert Alfredo Pedullà claims that the favourite is to be found within Serie A.
Dodo is only under contract with Fiorentina until June 2027 and negotiations for a renewal have been difficult.
With that in mind, the price-tag is said to be around €15m, which is considerably cheaper than Palestra.
Once again, Inter are not the only club interested in his services, as Dodo is also seen as an option for Max Allegri’s Napoli.
Their first choice would be Anan Khalaili of Union Saint-Gilloise, so the Brazilian is a back-up choice.
The 27-year-old was purchased from Shakhtar Donetsk for €15.4m in 2022 and in the current campaign he notched up two goals with three assists in 47 games for Fiorentina.
