Negotiation between the Flamengo and Atalanta for right-back Wesley could face complications due to recent injuries to the red and black squad. With Varela's injury, Flamengo finds itself in a delicate situation, as Wesley is currently the only right-back available in the squad. The club's board is evaluating whether it is viable to continue selling the player, considering the impact this would have on the team.

Varela's injury left Flamengo with no options for the position, which puts it in question negotiation with the Italian club. Wesley, who has been used regularly, has become a key player in the team's tactical scheme, which makes his possible departure a critical point for the managers.


Atalanta showed interest in Wesley, but the board of Flamengo needs to consider the risks of being without an original right-back at a time when the squad is already facing difficulties with absences. The decision to sell Wesley or not must consider both the financial aspect and the sporting impact, especially considering the decisive phase of the season in which Flamengo finds itself.


The situation becomes even more complex when considering that the The transfer market is close to closing, which limits Flamengo's chances of seeking a suitable replacement. This requires careful analysis from the board to prevent the team from being left unprotected on the right flank, which could compromise the club's ambitions in the competitions it competes in.
