Ex-Roma man Gerson advises Wesley to join Giallorossi | OneFootball

Roma is getting closer to a new target to strengthen the right wing.

According to the latest, Flamengo fullback Wesley has accepted the Giallorossi as his next destination.

The player, who has been followed by Gian Piero Gasperini for some time, represents a crucial piece in the Giallorossi’s new tactical project.

Roma’s interest in Wesley is nothing new. The coach, now on the Roma bench, had already had him in his sights when he was at Atalanta, where he appreciated his technical skills and defensive adaptability.

But behind the player’s yes lies a curious and significant detail: Wesley apparently decided to accept Roma’s offer after speaking with Gerson, a Brazilian midfielder currently playing for Zenit St. Petersburg.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the former Giallorossi player, despite his less than memorable experience in Italy, recommended the transfer to his friend and compatriot, expressing a positive opinion on the Roman environment.
