Corinthians get positive signal from Al-Nassr over Wesley | OneFootball

Corinthians has a little “help” from Al-Nassr in the negotiations to bring back forward Wesley, 21. With no room at Cristiano Ronaldo and company’s club, the youngster wants to return to Alvinegro, and the board managed to get the current Saudi Pro League champions to cover most of the player’s salary if the loan move goes through.

Before any other destination, the player’s camp’s priority is a return to the club at Parque São Jorge, after all, the youngster came through the team’s youth academy. The information was first reported by the Meu Timão outlet.

The player’s desire to return was confirmed by coach Fernando Diniz even before the 1-1 draw against Cascavel in a friendly as part of preparations for the resumption of the season. In the press conference after the match, the coach commented on the player, but also recalled the transfer ban issue.

“Wesley is a player who has characteristics that we also need in the squad, somewhat similar to what we have here in Brazil. Wesley is a bit similar to Kayke, who injured his knee. He is a player developed here, and he is also a name I like a lot. But there is the budget issue and the transfer ban issue to be resolved, to see whether this moves forward,” he said.

New transfer ban

Although things are progressing well and Corinthians sees itself closer to bringing Wesley back, the club was hit with a new FIFA transfer ban on Monday afternoon (13), and will need to settle its outstanding issues with other teams in order to remove the restriction on registering new players and then be able to pursue signings with peace of mind.

Central do Timão found that the new measure was imposed due to a disciplinary fine of approximately US$200,000, because of an accumulation of outstanding issues. A few months ago, Alvinegro adopted the approach of tackling the larger debts first, as in the cases of Matías Rojas, Félix Torres, and Rodrigo Garro, and only then dealing with smaller debts.

The disciplinary fine is related to debts involving Martínez, Charles, and Talles Magno. In addition to the two transfer bans, Corinthians has not paid debts related to the squad’s image rights for the month of June.
