Right-back Wesley , a recent standout in Flamengo's squad, has entered the radar of European clubs, with special attention from Manchester City . The current English champion is considering names to reinforce the position and the number 43 of the Mais Querido appears among those most observed by the English coaching staff.
According to information gathered by Coluna do Fla, City has not yet presented an official proposal, but is closely monitoring the player's performance. The club's priority is to find a full-back with a young profile and potential for growth, characteristics attributed to Wesley.
In the ranking of players evaluated by Manchester City, Wesley currently occupies the fourth position among the targets for the right-back position. The British team's strategy is to try to sign three other names before making a concrete move for the Flamengo player, depending on the progress of the negotiations.
This ongoing observation demonstrates the growing market value of Wesley, who had already attracted attention in Europe in previous seasons. Despite the interest, the English club is cautious in its approach, prioritizing negotiations with fewer contractual or bureaucratic obstacles .
This week , Wesley's representatives are in Europe making technical visits to training centres and administrative offices of Premier League clubs. The idea is to gather information and impressions that will help the player evaluate future transfer possibilities.
In 2024, Wesley, from Flamengo , was close to signing with Atalanta, from Italy, in a transaction that ended up not being completed due to bureaucratic procedures. Since then, the search for interested parties in European football has intensified, and the athlete has remained one of the names in evidence on the international scene.

Leader of the Brazilian Championship, Flamengo returns to the field this Sunday (03) to face Ceará, away from home, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Arena Castelão. The match will be broadcast by Record, on Open TV, by CazéTV, on YouTube, and by Premiere, on pay-per-view .
With only one player missing for the match, Ceará is expected to field a full-strength squad. The likely starting lineup includes : Bruno Ferreira; Fabiano Souza, Marcos Victor, Willian Machado, and Matheus Bahia; Richardson, Dieguinho, and Galeano; Lourenço, Pedro Henrique, and Pedro Raul. Coach: Léo Condé.
Flamengo should field a full-strength team , maintaining the idea of prioritizing the Brazilian Championship. The tendency is for Mengão to start the game with: Rossi; Varela (Emerson Royal), Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro (Ayrton Lucas); Allan (Evertton Araújo), Jorginho and Arrascaeta; Gonzalo Plata, Samuel Lino and Bruno Henrique. Coach: Filipe Luís
Ceará has only one confirmed absence: defender Luiz Otávio, who is injured. Flamengo will be without Erick Pulgar, who is recovering from a fractured right foot , Danilo, who strained his right thigh, and Michael, who is experiencing ankle pain. Luiz Araújo was rested for load control. Pedro and Wallace Yan are suspended for accumulated bookings. De La Cruz remains doubtful.
The midfielder never achieved the expected prominence when he left Mengão for the Spanish capital and is close to becoming a player for the red-black rival.

After a low-key stint in Europe, Reinier, a product of Ninho do Urubu, is back in Brazil. According to Spanish newspaper Marca, the attacking midfielder has already said goodbye to Real Madrid and has reached an agreement with Atlético-MG . The player is expected in Belo Horizonte in the coming days, where he will undergo medical examinations and sign a contract . The contract will be for four and a half years, the newspaper revealed.
Talks between Reinier and Atlético-MG began in June, when the Minas Gerais club launched an inquiry and received a positive response from the player. The initial proposal, a loan with an option to buy, was met with Real Madrid's demand for financial compensation.
As the window progressed, negotiations resumed and culminated in a definitive agreement. In recent weeks, the player had been training with Real Madrid's B team , but according to Marca, he was no longer part of the club's plans.
Before signing with Atlético-MG— Flamengo 's opponent in the Copa do Brasil round of 16—Reinier was speculated as a potential reinforcement for the Rubro-Negro. According to journalist Mauro Cezar Pereira, the Rio de Janeiro club made an inquiry but backed off due to the high costs of the deal.
The decision not to move forward involved not only the contract value, but also the high commissions demanded by the player's representatives— deemed incompatible with the player's current situation . As a result, Flamengo turned its attention to Lucas Beltrán, from Fiorentina.
Reinier arrived at Real Madrid in 2020, surrounded by high expectations, but failed to establish himself at the Spanish club. Unlike Vini Jr., also formerly of Flamengo, and Rodrygo, the midfielder never even played a match at the Santiago Bernabéu .
Over the past five years, he has spent time on loan at Borussia Dortmund, Girona, Granada, and, most recently, Frosinone in Italy— where he enjoyed his best spell since leaving Brazil . In total, he has played 105 matches, scoring seven goals and providing eight assists.
