Overview
- Nottingham Forest’s initial reported offer of about €7m (circa £6m) was turned down by Fiorentina, who judged the fee too low.
- Reports say Forest have since returned with an improved proposal worth around €9m plus up to €2m in bonuses, though that still falls short of Fiorentina’s valuation.
- Fiorentina are holding out for roughly €10m and expect any move to be a permanent transfer because Dodo enters the final 12 months of his contract.
- Forest view Dodo as a ready-made option to provide competition at right-back for Oliver Glasner and to plug a gap while other targets remain unavailable.
- The timing gives Fiorentina negotiating leverage but also creates selling pressure if no new deal is reached before the window closes, which could force them to lower their asking price.
