Wesley to be called up by Brazil for World Cup campaign | OneFootball

With qualification already secured, Carlo Ancelotti can confidently plan his next Brazil squad for the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in June and July in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

Among the players under scrutiny is Wesley, a winger who arrived at Roma in the summer and quickly earned Gasperini’s trust, despite often adapting to playing on the opposite flank to his natural position.

Wesley’s performances have not gone unnoticed.

In Brazil, there is also talk of potential interest from Manchester City, who are reportedly ready to offer Roma €50 million.

According to reports by Correio do Estado and RTI Esporte, Ancelotti has already outlined the hierarchy for the wingers.

With Militao set to become the starting right-back, Wesley would be one of the top options, along with Monaco’s Vanderson. His adaptability, which allows him to play on the left as well, further increases his chances of being called up, especially considering that Paulo Henrique currently appears to be lagging behind.

The final squad list is expected to be announced on May 19th, but the signs seem to favor the Giallorossi.

Since his arrival in Italy, the winger has rapidly risen through the ranks among his compatriots, which could guarantee him a spot in the World Cup.
