Flamengo, which initially demanded €30 million for Wesley, may be close to achieving that goal. The right-back's transfer, however, has taken a new turn with the renewed interest from Manchester City.
Coach Pep Guardiola believes the player would fit perfectly into his tactical model and has asked the English board to make another move for the player. City, which has been monitoring the player's performance, now intends to formalize an offer that can compete with that of Roma, the club that has recently led the negotiations.
Despite the English club's interest, Roma appears willing to speed up the process and reach an agreement with the Red-Blacks . After weeks of negotiations, the Italian club has signaled that it will present a new offer of over €25 million, which is close to the amount initially stipulated by the Rio de Janeiro club.
The young right-back is seen as a strategic asset by coach Gian Piero Gasperini , who even mentioned Wesley as a desired reinforcement when he was in charge of Atalanta. The information was reported by the Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport.
This season, Wesley has made 25 appearances for Flamengo , scoring one goal and providing two assists. His strong performance, combined with his versatility, earned him a call-up to the Brazilian national team for the first time, further increasing his value in the European market.
Just 45 days after leaving Flamengo and arriving at Zenit, Gerson has attracted interest from Arab football, but the athlete's father and agent deny a direct offer.

Gerson's start at Zenit has been marked by difficulties. After leaving Flamengo shortly after the Club World Cup , the midfielder has yet to establish himself with the Russian team. He has been receiving few minutes on the pitch and recently missed the last game due to an injury.
This Sunday (31), information emerged that Al-Ittihad, from Saudi Arabia, opened talks to try to sign the athlete, just 45 days after his arrival in Russia . The news caught the attention of Flamengo fans, as the Joker left Brazil in one of the main transfers of the season.
Journalist Julio Miguel Neto reported that he spoke with Marcão, the player's father and representative. According to him, there has been no official contact so far from the athlete, who left Mais Querido to play for the Russian team.
" If anything came up, it was from club to club. I haven't been officially notified by anyone yet. I haven't offered him to any club ," the businessman declared.
Still, the possibility isn't ruled out, as it's common for Middle Eastern clubs to engage directly with teams before negotiating with players. It remains to be seen whether negotiations will progress in the coming days.
