Flamengo ordered to pay R$16 million in court over player sale | OneFootball

Flamengo has been summoned by the courts to deposit just over R$16 million — equivalent to 10% of Wesley’s sale to Roma — due to a lawsuit filed by Clube Atlético Tubarão (SC), which claims a share as a training club. The information was initially reported by ESPN.

The order came from a letter rogatory issued in Rio Grande do Sul. The case reached the 5th Civil Court of the Leopoldina Regional District on Friday, and the court requested additional documents before proceeding with the formal summons to Flamengo. Even so, the court in Rio Grande do Sul had set a deadline until this Wednesday for the payment to be made.

The dispute involves not only the 10% contractually stipulated, but also 0.92% related to FIFA’s solidarity mechanism, which is intended to compensate training clubs in international transfers.

Wesley played for Tubarão between 2019 and 2021, before joining Flamengo and later being sold to Roma for an amount that could reach up to 30 million euros, depending on performance targets.

Good spell in Italy

At Roma, Wesley has been putting in good performances. In the 2025/26 season, he has played 24 matches and scored 3 goals, being one of coach Carlo Ancelotti’s options for the right-back position in the Brazilian National Team.
