Roma's interest in Dodô is real but firmly at the early stage. The right-back remains under contract with Fiorentina until June 2027, and there is no agreement, no accepted bid and no sign of a breakthrough — only a standing admiration from Roma that has yet to turn into a formal move. A fee somewhere between £10.5m and £15.3m is the figure in circulation, with Fiorentina's asking price reported at £15.3m. For now, this is courtship rather than negotiation. The story rests on a single, recent thread from Gianluca Di Marzio, a benchmark voice on Italian transfers, who notes only that Roma are "always" on Dodô. That is reliable sourcing, but it is also thin: one credible reporter restating ongoing interest, not multiple voices describing live talks. Treat it as a genuine watch rather than a deal taking shape. The engine's 16% reflects exactly that thinness. For this to complete, Roma would need to move from interest to a concrete bid, close the gap towards Fiorentina's £15.3m valuation, and persuade a player still tied down until 2027. None of those steps has happened, which is why it sits as a longshot — credible enough to track, far from likely to land. History offers some calibration. Dodô himself joined Fiorentina from Shakhtar D. for £13m in 2022, and Roma have repeatedly spent in this bracket — £13m for arrivals from Man Utd in 2020 and Chelsea in 2016. A fee around £13m to £15m would be entirely in keeping with both clubs' habits. Watch for the first actual bid, or for Fiorentina to signal whether £15.3m is movable. Without that, this stays a rumour.
