Right-back Wesley, currently part of the reserve team Flamengo under the command of Tite, is being the target of interest from Brighton & Hove Albion, from England. According to information obtained by journalist Wilson Pimentel, from RTI Esporte, the Premier League club demonstrated its intention to make a proposal for the player, valued at 4 million euros (around R$21.7 million), aiming to acquire 80% of the economic rights of the athlete.
Previously, Barcelona advanced in negotiations to acquire the right-back, however, with the rise of Wesley in the team under the command of Sampaoli, the Spanish club chose to hold off on the operation. Recently, Crystal Palace, also from England, expressed interest in the defender, but the negotiations did not progress. Guillermo Varela, assuming the position with Tite at Flamengo, consolidated himself as a starter, which contributed to the possibility of Wesley's departure.
ALERT SIGNAL ONAt the beginning of March, Wesley found himself involved in a controversy in Barra da Tijuca, where he was accused of attacking businessman Kaio Mana in a kiosk in the West Zone of Rio de Janeiro. Faced with this episode, Flamengo's vice-president of football, Marcos Braz, took the initiative to talk to the player about what had happened. Despite the situation, the club chose to keep Wesley integrated into the squad, while police investigations continue.

However, the recent controversy could influence negotiations and even affect the value of the proposal made by the English club. Meanwhile, in the sporting field, Tite will have to deal with the absence of a player who, despite being on reserve, could be an important option during the season.

Tite, current coach of Flamengo, was direct when commenting on the tight calendar of Brazilian football and the idea of sparing players amid the intense sequence of games. In a recent interview, he spared no criticism of the current competition model in the country and made it clear that, contrary to what many suggest, he has no intention of arbitrarily preserving players in decisive moments.
Tite's main criticism revolves around the excess of games throughout the season. The Brazilian calendar is historically tight, with competitions such as the Brazilian Championship, the Copa do Brasil, the Libertadores, and, in years of the World Cup or Copa América, there is still the weight of international team tournaments. This scenario means that clubs, especially the big ones, have to deal with an exorbitant number of matches in a short space of time, which increases the wear and tear on players and, consequently, the risk of injuries.
However, despite this situation, the coach made it clear that it is not in his plans to adopt a strategy of rotating players indiscriminately. "No one spares", said Tite, in response to suggestions that Flamengocould rest its main athletes in some games. He highlighted that sparing athletes without a clear justification, just with the intention of preserving the squad, would be a risky attitude, especially considering the pressure for immediate results in a club of Flamengo's magnitude.
Tite was also emphatic when explaining that, when making decisions about the lineup, he takes into account several factors, including the physical condition of the athletes, the importance of the match and the team's long-term planning. "Am I going to save my job? Put my job at risk?", joked the coach, highlighting that, in a club with pressure and expectations like Flamengo, a bad result can be costly, including a coach's position.
The Brazilian football calendar is one of the most intense in the world. While in many European countries clubs play, on average, between 45 and 50 matches per season, in Brazil this number easily exceeds 70, considering all competitions. Furthermore, long trips between states, climate variations and the difference in the quality of lawns contribute to the wear and tear of athletes.
