Wesley at Alvalade? Sporting may have pulled the plug on the deal | OneFootball

Sporting is not expected to move forward with the signing of Wesley in this winter transfer window. Although he has been identified as a possible alternative to Yeremay Hernández, the Al Nassr player is not in the plans of Rui Borges’ squad for the second half of the season.

According to the newspaper Record, the young 20-year-old Brazilian is not part of the green and white structure’s plans for this winter transfer window. In this case, Yeremay continues to be the main focus for Sporting at this stage, even though his signing is expected to be very difficult.

Furthermore, the same source confirms that Wesley was indeed part of Sporting’s plans last summer – but only as one of the identified players. For this reason, the club’s management intends to focus all their efforts on signing the Deportivo player, with the Spanish club reportedly asking for 50 million euros for his transfer.

However, even if Sporting fails to secure the signing of Yeremay, they are not expected to turn to Wesley. He brought in 18 million euros for Corinthians two seasons ago and, although the Brazilian may seem more ‘accessible’, Sporting will not go down that path.

Wesley – currently valued at 4 million euros – has been used by Jorge Jesus in nine matches this season. In the 490 minutes he has played, the 20-year-old has scored two goals and provided one assist for Al Nassr.
