Barcelona targets Dodo as right-back option amid defensive concerns

Barcelona is looking to bolster its defense with potential targets for the January transfer window following recent defeats to PSG and Real Madrid. One player linked to the club is Dodo, whose contract with Fiorentina expires at the end of the season. Fiorentina's sporting director indicated that Dodo will seek a new club, which may allow for a transfer this January. Dodo, an attack-minded right-back, is seen as a valuable fit for Barcelona's tactical needs, especially considering their struggles with depth in defense. Juventus and Milan are also reportedly interested in signing him.
