Filipe Luís gives update on Wesley’s sale by Flamengo | OneFootball

Roma (ITA) is close to signing Wesley from Flamengo

Flamengo defeated Red Bull Bragantino 2-1 last Wednesday (23), in Bragança Paulista, with a stunning goal from right-back Wesley. After the match for the Brazilian Championship, coach Filipe Luís commented on the moment of the 21-year-old and updated the situation of the negotiation with Roma (ITA) regarding his transfer to Italy.

— I spoke with Boto just now, I don't know how things are. But it's incredible for a youth academy player to go through everything he went through here and turn things around the way he did. From being booed to being worth 30 million euros and being able to choose where to play. That's his merit. He worked hard and deserves this. But, if it goes through, we have to thank him for everything he did for the club and wish him happiness — said Filipe Luís during a press conference last Wednesday (23).

WHAT IS WESLEY'S SITUATION?

Flamengo is about to finalize the sale of right-back Wesley to Roma, Italy. That's because the red-black team accepted the offer of 25 million euros fixed (R$ 162.2 million at the current exchange rate), plus bonuses for the young 21-year-old defender.

In addition to the fixed amount, Roma (ITA) included a bonus of 5 million euros (R$ 32.4 million at the current exchange rate) in the negotiation for Wesley. Flamengo is now negotiating the signing of a replacement to finalize the sale of the 21-year-old right-back to the Italian capital team.

HOW IS WESLEY DOING?

Last Wednesday (23), Wesley was decisive in the victory over Red Bull Bragantino. The 21-year-old right-back scored the second goal that sealed the 2-1 win for the red-black team in Bragança Paulista. As a result, Flamengo continues to chase Cruzeiro, the leader of the Brazilian Championship.
