Fiorentina signs João Mário on loan from Juventus

Fiorentina has finalized the loan acquisition of João Mário from Juventus as of August 3, 2026. The deal includes an initial fee of €1.8 million and an option to buy for €9.5 million. This marks the seventh incoming transfer for Fiorentina this summer. Mário, a right-back, has had limited playing time at Juventus and was previously loaned to Bologna, where he struggled to secure a role. His arrival could signal the end of Dodô's tenure with Fiorentina, though optimism remains regarding Mário’s potential to contribute meaningfully as a backup.
