With unexpected eliminations and defeats, Mais Querido has been facing troubled times in the 2023 season. Despite the bad phase, it is undeniable that certain members of the red-black squad show a great evolution on the pitch. This is the case of Wesley, who was recently speculated to be a target for Sporting (POR).

Due to fluctuations in Flamengo's right-back, Sampaoli adopted a strategy: the Argentine polished Wesley so that the player supplied the position needs. With that, the young athlete showed great evolution on the field, in addition to an increase in his minutes. As expected, the good results of Fla's jewel drew the attention of foreign clubs.

This Monday (21), journalist Ekrem Konur announced that Sporting would be interested in hiring Wesley. However, according to the investigation of Gazeta do Urubu, the player's manager denied any type of survey or offer for the athlete.

Remember that, at the beginning of the year, Barcelona (ESP) made the only official proposal for the right-back, which was denied by Flamengo. Considering the few options for the position in the Rubro-Negro, the player's departure would cause oscillations in the performance on the field. In addition, with the closing of the Brazilian transfer window, it would be difficult to replace the player, since the carioca would only have options for players without a club.

With Wesley available, Mais Querido focuses on his commitments for the season . Flamengo and Internacional face each other this Saturday (26) for the 21st round of the Brasileirão. The duel takes place at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã.

Check it out:
