Wesley opens up on possible Flamengo return: “I miss it a lot…” | OneFootball

Flamengo said goodbye to Wesley in July 2025

Now a Roma (ITA) player, Wesley has one of the most exciting stories at Flamengo. That is because, after a troubled start, the full-back became one of the club’s main gems. Now, looking back on his time at the Rubro-Negro, the youngster did not rule out the possibility of wearing the Sacred Shirt again.

— I still follow them whenever possible, and I have a lot of affection for everyone. Maybe one day I’ll come back!? — said Wesley in an interview with ‘Lance!’. It is worth noting that, because of his strong performances at Roma, the former Flamengo player has been drawing interest from major teams in world football, such as Manchester City (ENG).

What were Wesley’s numbers at Flamengo?

Flamengo finalized Wesley’s departure in July 2025, after the FIFA Club World Cup. On that occasion, Roma paid 25 million euros fixed (R$ 161.4 million), in addition to 5 million euros (R$ 32.2 million) in bonuses.

Wesley left Flamengo after 139 matches, four goals, and six assists. In addition, the full-back won the Copa do Brasil in 2024 and was part of Mais Querido’s title-winning campaign in the Libertadores and the Brasileirão in 2025.

Is Wesley going to the World Cup?

Yes! Wesley’s good form at Roma, in fact, earned him a call-up to play in the World Cup with the Brazil National Team. The full-back reported to Granja Comary, in Teresópolis, this Wednesday (27) to begin Brazil’s preparation for the world tournament.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Meanwhile, Flamengo remain focused on their last commitment before the break for the World Cup. This Saturday (30), the Rubro-Negro face Coritiba at 4:00 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã, in the 18th round of the Brasileirão.
