Wesley really is heading to Europe... but not to Sporting | OneFootball

Real Sociedad is very close to reaching an agreement to sign the Brazilian winger Wesley, currently playing for Al Nassr. The deal between the Basque club and the Saudis is in its final negotiation phase, with an official announcement expected in the coming days.

According to the latest information from Fabrizio Romano, the transfer is indeed about to be finalized. Before the Spanish club’s approach, the young player was linked to other European clubs, including advanced negotiations with Everton from the Premier League.

In the Portuguese scene, Wesley’s name was also mentioned as a possible target for Sporting as one of the alternatives to strengthen their attack, especially for the winger position. Al Nassr was asking for around 15 million euros for the player’s transfer.

Recently, the footballer used social media to send clear signals that he wanted to leave Al Nassr, but to return to Corinthians (Read HERE). The player has a strong emotional connection to the club, where he played 84 matches between 2022 and 2024, before moving to the Middle East for 18 million euros.
