Jorge Jesus praises Wesley, ex-Corinthians, but won't rule out a transfer | OneFootball

After Al-Nassr's defeat against Al-Qadsiah by 2 to 1 this Thursday, coach Jorge Jesus praised the winger ex-Corinthians Wesley, but did not rule out a possible departure of the player.

With the absence of Sadio Mané, who is with the Senegal national team competing in the African Cup of Nations, Jorge Jesus highlighted that the Brazilian was a satisfactory solution. Despite the positive statements, the coach understands that there is a difference in intensity between the two players.

“We believe in Wesley's ability, the interest of European clubs in him is not by chance. He played 20 minutes today and was not the reason for this defeat,” said Jorge Jesus.

With the restriction of eight foreigners per club imposed by the Saudi League, the Portuguese coach did not rule out a possible transfer of Wesley.

“He is one of our forwards, he is quick and strong in one-on-one situations. He is undoubtedly one of the foreign players who could be negotiated in this market,” stated the Portuguese.

Wesley's Numbers at Al-Nassr

Announced by the Saudi team in August 2024, the number 80 has been playing frequently in Arabia. At Al-Nassr, Wesley reached 49 games, where he scored five times and provided assists on four occasions.
