Barcelona eyeing Flamengo academy star, club could cash in | OneFootball

Wesley left Flamengo after the Club World Cup in June 2025

Wesley's first season in Europe impresses everyone. Barcelona (ESP), for example, is considering signing the right-back from Flamengo's youth academy. This is because the youngster is performing well at Roma (ITA).

The Italians are expected to demand around 40 million pounds (£280 million) to release the Roma right-back. If the deal goes through, Flamengo would be entitled to 2.5% of the amount, which equates to about £7 million.

How is Wesley doing at Roma?

A right-back during his time at Flamengo, Wesley has become ambidextrous in Italy. This is because, besides playing on the right, the athlete has been playing on the left. Thus, in 2025/26, the youngster scored four goals and provided one assist in 32 matches for the team.

With his versatility in Italian football, Wesley has a great chance of playing in the 2026 World Cup. Moreover, the right-back might return to Maracanã on May 31, when the Brazilian National Team will face Panama in a friendly match.

How is Flamengo doing without Wesley?

While Wesley shines in Italy, Flamengo faces Botafogo, starting at 8:30 PM (Brasília time). The match takes place this Saturday (14) at Estádio Nilton Santos, for the sixth round of the Brasileirão.

Thus, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the game between Flamengo and Botafogo through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Prime Video will stream the match.
