Wesley has once again gained prominence in the transfer market. The Brazilian winger from Al Nassr has been repeatedly linked to Sporting, but the Lions are aware that they are not alone in the race, and there is new information about the competition for the player.

According to information revealed by Ekrem Konur - a Turkish journalist specializing in the transfer market -, Cristiano Ronaldo's teammate is being closely monitored by Flamengo, but Sporting, Benfica, Shakhtar Donetsk, and Olympiacos are also keeping a close eye on the player.

The footballer trained at Corinthians before heading to Saudi Arabia, where he has been making his mark on the team managed by Jorge Jesus. His recent performances have not gone unnoticed by several European clubs, particularly in Portugal.

From Sporting's side, the interest shown in the past was part of a scouting strategy focused on young players with the potential to develop and make a sporting and financial impact. The Alvalade club has not made any concrete proposals, but they have hinted at 15 million euros for the Brazilian player, as the same source reports.

Wesley - currently valued at 5 million euros - was used by Jorge Jesus in 15 matches throughout the season. In the 948 minutes he was on the pitch, the 20-year-old player scored four goals and provided one assist wearing the Al Nassr jersey.
