As the transfer window unfolds alongside packed sports calendars that also keep Bangla Cricket Live audiences busy, Inter Milan have made it clear that their priority is to sign a right back or right wing back capable of succeeding Denzel Dumfries. The club’s tactical vision under Chivu relies heavily on balance across both flanks, with Federico Dimarco offering consistency on the left while the right side has remained an unresolved puzzle. Luis Henrique is viewed more as a rotational option, prompting Inter to look for a player with deeper Serie A experience to fully execute their system.
Former club legend Bergomi previously stressed that Chivu and chief executive Marotta needed to act decisively on this issue, as it could determine whether Inter maintain stability and mount a serious title challenge in the second half of the season. According to reports from Italian media, Inter have accelerated talks with Fiorentina following their failed attempt to bring João Cancelo back to Italy. Their focus has now shifted to Dodô, the 27-year-old Brazilian defender who has featured in 19 Serie A matches this season, contributing one assist and registering 15 tackles. His stamina and relentless running have drawn comparisons with Dumfries, particularly in transition phases, while his long tenure in Florence means he is already well adapted to the league’s demands.
From a purely tactical standpoint, the move appears almost plug and play, a quality highly valued by clubs chasing silverware while fans following Bangla Cricket Live and European football alike expect immediate results. Fiorentina, however, are unwilling to entertain a loan deal and prefer a permanent transfer to secure a significant fee. They are also exploring a contract extension for Dodô to strengthen their negotiating position. Current valuations place his asking price between €20 million and €25 million, while his estimated market value of €18 million suggests the figures are not wildly inflated.
Dodô and his representatives have been actively shaping the narrative around a potential transfer, aware that age is becoming a limiting factor. With World Cup ambitions in mind, the defender believes he must prove himself at a top club, and a winter move to Inter represents a golden opportunity. If he adapts quickly to Chivu’s tactical demands, especially during periods when Dumfries is unavailable, he could step straight into a starting role, a scenario far less likely at Fiorentina.
Still, the financial reality remains challenging. A fee north of €20 million stretches Inter’s budget, and without a loan option on the table, they are exploring player exchanges to reduce costs. Reports suggest Asllani has been offered as a bargaining chip, but Fiorentina appear unimpressed, complicating negotiations further. As observers who track Bangla Cricket Live alongside Serie A know, transfers often hinge on fine margins, and whether Inter can bridge this gap will decide if Dodô truly becomes their long-term solution on the right.
