Benfica reopen talks with Al-Nassr over former Corinthians player | OneFootball

Benfica has once again set its sights on Wesley as a new signing for the European winter transfer window. Revealed by Corinthians, the 20-year-old forward usually plays on the left side and is known for his speed, dribbling, and finishing skills.

Al-Nassr sets market value

According to the Arabic website Almaghribtoday, the Portuguese club wants to have Wesley still this season. Al-Nassr has stated that it will only accept to sell the player for an amount between 15 and 20 million euros (about R$ 95 to 130 million), since the player joined the club after an 18 million euro deal (R$ 112 million at the time) with Corinthians in August 2024.

Wesley's numbers this season

Wesley completed 11 matches as a starter last Friday. In total, he has made 15 appearances in the 2025/26 season. In these games, the Brazilian has scored four goals and provided one assist for the Arab club.

Situation in Jorge Jesus' team

The forward's recent performances for Al-Nassr have not been impressing coach Jorge Jesus. This Thursday, he started the match against Al-Qadsiah on the bench, after a run as a starter.

In this scenario, therefore, the club would be willing to let go of the former Corinthians player, even covering up to 40% of his salary in a possible loan to another club.

Benfica's search for reinforcements

Benfica's goal for this transfer window is to bring in at least one winger. The names of Wesley and André Luiz, a Brazilian player who belongs to Rio Ave of Portugal, are the main targets being monitored by the Portuguese club.
