Revealed by Flamengo, right-back plays for Roma (ITA)


Standing out at Roma, Italy, Wesley has been attracting the attention of major European clubs. At 22 years old, the right-back revealed by Flamengo has caught the eye of Manchester City (ENG), Tottenham (ENG), and Newcastle United (ENG).

According to the British site ‘TEAMtalk’, Wesley stood out in Serie A, catching the attention of Premier League clubs. Currently, the right-back is a key player for coach Gian Piero Gasperini, playing on both sides of the field and showcasing speed, width, and skill in advancing the ball to the attack.

It is worth noting that according to the British publication, the three English clubs had already shown interest in Wesley before his transfer to Roma and continued to follow his performance in one of Europe's top leagues. Thus, intermediaries have indicated that a deal could happen if the clubs present official offers.

FOR HOW MUCH WAS WESLEY SOLD?

Flamengo negotiated Wesley's transfer to Roma for 25 million euros (R$ 163 million at the exchange rate at the time), following the right-back's standout performance at the club. However, the Italian team considers the player an important asset and would only sell him for an irresistible offer.

WOULD FLAMENGO PROFIT FROM WESLEY'S SALE?

Wesley joined Flamengo while still in the youth categories. Therefore, as one of the training clubs, Mengão holds a 2.5% stake in any potential deal involving the player.
