Exclusive Leonino - Sporting make fresh call on Wesley signing | OneFootball

The signings of Luis Guilherme and Souleymane Faye push Wesley away from Sporting, Leonino has learned. Although the player who shares a locker room with Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr is on the Lions’ radar, the management is not expected to move forward with a formal proposal.

According to our newspaper’s findings, Rui Borges is satisfied with the arrival of two wingers in this transfer window and the board does not intend to make any more extravagant moves in January for another player in the same position, which means the Brazilian will end up being ‘left on the shelf’, especially since Sporting’s real dream for the summer remains Yeremay Hernández.

The truth is that, so far, Sporting has already invested significantly in the two names added to the squad – with Luis Guilherme already official, and only Faye’s presentation pending. The first was signed from West Ham for 14 million euros, with another 3 million depending on objectives; while for the second, an expenditure of 6.5M is expected.

This is still at a very early stage of the transfer window and, as it seems, these are indeed the amounts the Saudi club is willing to release the winger for (10-15M).

This season, wearing the Al-Nassr shirt, Wesley – valued at 5 million euros – has played 16 matches: seven in the Saudi League, five in the AFC Champions League Two, two in the Super Cup, and two in the King’s Cup. In the 964 minutes he was on the pitch, the athlete scored four goals and provided one assist.
