Sampdoria left-back Dodo is set to join Brazilian side Cruzeiro on loan with an obligation to buy.
The deal was reported on Gianluca Di Marzio’s website and marks a quick return to Brazilian football for Dodo, who spent last year on loan at Santos.
The 26-year-old moved to Italy in 2012, playing for Roma, Inter and most recently Samp but without ever establishing himself for any of those clubs.
