Benfica change stance on Wesley, Sporting keep a close eye | OneFootball

With Sporting watching from the sidelines, a piece of good news emerges: Benfica is said to have withdrawn from pursuing the signing of Wesley. The conditions presented by Al Nassr for releasing the player, who is under Jorge Jesus's command, seem to have deterred the Reds.

According to the latest information, the Saudi club imposed strict conditions, agreeing only to release the winger permanently. Additionally, the departure would only be authorized upon Sadio Mané's return from the CAN.

It's worth noting that, concerning Wesley, the Lions reportedly even offered 15 million euros for the Al Nassr player, still in a very early stage of the transfer window, and it seems that it is indeed for these amounts that the Saudi club is willing to release the winger (10-15M).

Moreover, Cristiano Ronaldo lost his temper with Wesley during the Al Nassr – Al Quadisiya match, which ended in a defeat for the team led by Jorge Jesus by 2-1. The Portuguese star was visibly upset with the young Brazilian (Learn more HERE).

This season, wearing the Al-Nassr jersey, Wesley – valued at 5 million euros – played 16 games: seven 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 964 minutes he was on the field, the athlete scored four goals and made one assist.
