Benfica have submitted a concrete offer for Al Nassr winger Wesley, but two other clubs are in the race, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The Brazilian could leave this month, with Al Nassr evaluating fresh approaches after Benfica’s move.

Al Nassr would consider offers in the 10 to 15 million euro range. Jorge Jesus has signalled publicly that he is open to a sale during this window.

Benfica’s priority remains André Luiz, though negotiations with Rio Ave are proving difficult. Wesley is viewed as a valid alternative if that signing falls through in the coming days.

This season Wesley has played 16 matches for Al Nassr, seven in the Saudi League, five in the AFC Champions League Two, two in the Super Cup and two in the King’s Cup. Across 964 minutes he has scored four goals and provided one assist, and is valued at 5 million euros.
