Roma make Flamengo’s Wesley top priority | OneFootball

Roma are accelerating on the defensive front and is firmly targeting Wesley, Flamengo’s right-back and a profile already known to Gian Piero Gasperini from the time he followed him for Atalanta.

The Giallorossi coach considers the 21-year-old player an ideal piece for his system.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Wesley is Roma’s priority target to strengthen the defense.

Despite the constraints imposed by the Settlement Agreement and the need to achieve some capital gains by June 30, the club is intent on making the move.

Flamengo values ​​its young talent at around 20 million euros, but the negotiation can only get going after the end of the Club World Cup, a competition that the Brazilian club is currently playing.

The player’s contractual situation is complex, as often happens for South American footballers.

Flamengo only owns 70% of the defender’s economic rights, while the remaining 30% belongs to MCL Esporte, the agency that looks after the player’s interests.
