Recently, Flamengo was in advanced talks with Atalanta, from Italy, for the possible transfer of the right-back Wesley. However, in the final moments of negotiations, the Italian club chose to withdraw from the agreement, surprising the red and black board. In response to Atalanta's decision, Flamengo's football director, Bruno Spindel, made a point of sending a clear and firm message to the European team.
During the CBF draw, Spindel did not mince words when expressing the Flamengo's position in the situation. "Flamengo is not an amateur club. No Flamengo player will leave without a signed contract. We are a big Brazilian club, with international standards. If they think we are joking, they are mistaken. No Flamengo player leaves without an approved and signed contract by all parties", declared the manager, demonstrating the seriousness with which Flamengo treats its transactions.
In addition to regretting Atalanta's withdrawal, Spindel highlighted the confidence that Flamengobanks on Wesley, highlighting his promising future at the club and in the Brazilian team. "We really believe in Wesley's potential. He has helped us and will continue to help us. We believe that in the future he will be part of the Brazilian team and will contribute a lot to Flamengo", he stated.
REASONS FOR WITHDRAWAL AND CONTRACT RENEWAL
The director also explained that Flamengo was informally informed by Atalanta about the withdrawal from hiring Wesley, mentioning a possible disagreement in regarding the final date for signing the contract. "On Tuesday morning, Flamengo agreed to the date of the 23rd, as requested. However, in the afternoon, we were informed of the withdrawal. We believe that perhaps they have found another player who interests them more than Wesley."
After the unexpected outcome, Flamengo renewed Wesley's contract until the end of 2028. The 20-year-old full-back's termination fine was raised to 200 million euros (around R$1.1 billion), reinforcing the player's importance to the club's future even more.
