On the eve of the transfer window opening, Wesley continues to attract interest from major European clubs. The young Flamengo full-back, aged 21, dreams of playing on the Old Continent in the future. With extensive international experience, Danilo , who has played for Porto (POR), Real Madrid (ESP), Manchester City (ENG) and Juventus (ITA), made a point of advising him publicly.

I'm going to get on his case..."

“I hope he makes (a good choice) and can soon reach greater heights in Europe. Because he has quality and the potential to develop that. I would be happy to see him play in Europe , in the Champions League. I have already told him several times. Regarding positioning, I will be annoying to him until the last day, because it will be better for Flamengo and for his own good, in this growth. Every time he misses a control or a pass, I will get on his case. You can call me annoying , but I want to see him grow ,” said Danilo in a press conference this Friday (25).

“He is a very dedicated boy who puts into practice what he hears. He has this intelligence . He is a relaxed, cool, responsible boy who really likes Flamengo and I wish him all the luck in the world. The other day I watched a game of the national team and at some point I saw his scared face , and I laughed, because I experienced that and only he can go through that and grow in this environment. May he understand that every moment he is living now is a privilege,” he added.

WESLEY STILL TARGETS EUROPE

Since the beginning of the year, Wesley has been the target of interest from important clubs. Everton (ENG), Aston Villa (ENG) and Milan (ITA) have made offers, but the full-back has opted to stay at Flamengo, at least for now. With the European transfer window about to open in June, new approaches are expected.

DANILO: AN EXAMPLE OF A CAREER IN EUROPE

Unlike Wesley, Danilo has a CV packed with experience in Europe. Signed by Porto in 2011, he shone in Portugal before being acquired by Real Madrid in 2015. He then enjoyed successful experiences at Manchester City and Juventus , winning important titles and playing internationally.
