The Barcelona transfer market is already working on the future of its full-backs and has Dodô, a 27-year-old Brazilian defender from Fiorentina, among the options being considered to strengthen the squad. The player's contract ends in June 2027, and his renewal with the Italian club is still pending, a situation that could facilitate a cost-free operation.

The planning is also influenced by Joao Cancelo, who returned to Barça as a free agent in August 2026 and signed until 2029. The Portuguese player holds a key position in the full-backs, but the club aims to maintain alternatives in case of any changes in the squad.

Barcelona expands its list for full-backs

Dodô is a right-back that Fiorentina signed from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2022. This season, he has had limited playing time, with records showing 1 game and 90 minutes in Serie A 2026-27.

The contractual situation explains much of the interest. The Brazilian's contract with Fiorentina ends in 2027, and discussions to extend the agreement have not reached a final point yet. Juventus and Milan are also among the clubs monitoring his situation.

For Barcelona, the potential deal with Dodô would differ significantly from other options: initially not requiring a transfer fee if Dodô sees out his contract, similar to Cancelo's situation. The chance to reach an agreement as a free agent will depend, however, on his contractual status in the upcoming months.

The club has shown interest in this position. During the summer, they negotiated for Jorge Salinas, left-back from Racing de Santander, but the differing valuations between the clubs prevented a deal.

Joao Cancelo impacts Barcelona's planning

Joao Cancelo definitively joined Barcelona in August after parting ways with Al-Hilal, where he still had a contract until June 2027. The Portuguese full-back returned to Barça following his loan spell in the previous season.

His continuity happened despite the presence of Alejandro Balde in the squad. The 22-year-old full-back had been linked to a potential exit during the summer, with Manchester United showing interest.

The sporting scenario is not static. By late September, Balde remained behind Cancelo and Xavi Espart in the rotation, while the club evaluated various solutions for the defense.

The search for new full-backs does not necessarily indicate impending departures. The aim is to retain options and identify players who could arrive without a significant outlay, especially if they become free agents.

David Raum also enters the radar

Another name in focus is David Raum, a 28-year-old left-back from RB Leipzig. His contract expires in June 2027, and the German club has confirmed its intention to negotiate an extension with their captain.

Raum has played 145 official matches, scoring 7 goals and providing 30 assists since his arrival in 2022. In the 2026-27 season, he has featured in 4 Bundesliga games, although he is yet to score or assist.

Barcelona will need to decide in the coming months whether to turn any of these pursuits into a deal. With Dodô and Raum tied to their clubs until 2027, January will be the opportunity to freely negotiate with other teams for the next season if no renewal takes place earlier.
