Wesley is leaving Flamengo. After weeks of negotiations, the right-back has been sold to Roma (ITA). With an agreement reached with the Italian club, the player received clearance from the Rubro-Negro. This Friday, the young athlete posted a farewell message on social media.
They were intense years, full of struggle, achievements, learning, and growth. Flamengo gave me the chance to live the dream of millions. I leave with a heart full of gratitude and the certainty that I gave my all. Thank you for everything, Nation. Uh tererê, I’m Flamengo until I die. SRN,” he wrote.
Roma will pay 25 million euros (R$ 162 million) to sign Wesley. In addition, the amount could reach 30 million euros (R$ 194 million) if the player meets the targets set out in the contract. Revealed by Flamengo, the right-back played 139 matches, scored four goals, and provided six assists. After an unstable start, the player won over the fans and has since established himself as an undisputed starter under Filipe Luís.
To make up for Wesley's departure, Flamengo secured the signing of Emerson Royal. Thus, the Rubro-Negro club paid 9 million euros (about R$ 58 million) for the 26-year-old right-back. Emerson arrives in Brazil this Saturday (26th) to undergo medical exams and sign a three-and-a-half-year contract.
Not at all! Emerson Royal is Flamengo’s second reinforcement in this transfer window. Previously, the club had already signed Saúl Ñíguez on a free transfer. In addition, this Friday (25th), Mengão also finalized the signing of forward Samuel Lino.
