Flamengo is the leading club in Brazilian football when it comes to producing players for the world stage. As such, two names who came out of Ninho do Urubu are the main Brazilian targets in Europe for the mid-year transfer window: Wesley and João Gomes.
This is because Wesley, currently at Roma (ITA), is one of the top defenders in the Italian Championship. As a result, the right-back developed by Flamengo has become a target for Arsenal (ENG) for next season.
Meanwhile, João Gomes is one of the main names on the transfer market. The midfielder developed by Flamengo is currently at Wolverhampton (ENG), but the club was relegated to the second division of English football.
Therefore, João Gomes is expected to leave Wolverhampton in the summer transfer window. Because of this, clubs such as Crystal Palace (ENG), Manchester United (ENG), Tottenham (ENG), Napoli (ITA), and Atlético de Madrid (ESP) are monitoring the situation of the former Flamengo midfielder.
On the other hand, Flamengo, the former club of João Gomes and Wesley, remains focused on the upcoming challenges of the season. The Rubro-Negro club takes the field this Thursday (07) to face Independiente Medellín (COL) away from home in the Copa Libertadores.
