Reports in Brazil suggest that Flamengo have accepted the total €20m proposal from Atalanta for right-back Wesley, who can be another new signing with Marco Brescianini.
La Dea are being very active in the transfer market, especially as they expect to lose Teun Koopmeiners to Juventus next week.
They set their sights on right-back Wesley Vinicius Franca Lima, who turns 21 next month and is a product of the Flamengo youth academy.
According to O Globo, the Brazilian club has accepted the offer worth €16m plus another €4m in performance-related bonuses.
That is a slightly tweaked version of the proposal reported by transfer expert Matteo Moretto, the same overall sum, but with more guaranteed than the original €15m.
Now Atalanta need to agree personal terms with the player and his entourage before bringing him to Italy for a medical.
Meanwhile, today Brescianini underwent his medical tests just a day after the transfer to Napoli sensationally collapsed.
That fell apart because Napoli tried to change the terms that would make it an obligation to buy from Frosinone and the club reacted angrily.
This deal will be worth €2m for the loan and €10m to buy outright, with Milan receiving 50 per cent.
