Wesley has been one of the most talked-about names in this winter transfer window, not only because of Benfica’s interest, but also because he is on Sporting’s radar. Recently, the player used social media to give clear signs that he wants to leave Al Nassr and... return to Corinthians.
In an Instagram post, the athlete shared a photo at Neo Química Arena, the ‘Timão’ stadium, with the song “Louco P’ra Voltar” playing in the background, hinting at his desire to come back. In addition, he deleted almost all images from his time in Saudi Arabia.
The Al Nassr management are open to negotiating the winger for amounts between 10 and 15 million euros, which has attracted the attention of several clubs. Flamengo, Shakhtar Donetsk, Olympiacos, and Bologna are also keeping an eye on the player.
Trained at the São Paulo club, Wesley has a strong emotional connection to the Brazilian team, where he played 84 matches between 2022 and 2024, scoring seven goals and providing four assists. Corinthians sold the player’s rights in 2024 for around 18 million euros.
This season, wearing the Al Nassr shirt, Wesley – valued at 5 million euros – played 18 games: nine in the Saudi League, five in the AFC Champions League Two, two in the Super Cup, and two in the King’s Cup. In the 1,036 minutes he was on the pitch, the player scored four goals and provided two assists.
