Right-back Wesley, from Flamengo, took advantage of the end of the year by participating in the traditional Jogo das Estrelas, an event organized by Zico on December 28th. During the mixed zone, the player commented on his goals for 2025, highlighting his desire to compete in the Club World Cup and envisioning a possible transfer to European football.
"My goal is to play in the Super World Cup for Flamengo. But, if the opportunity arises to go to Europe now, I will be very happy. If I continue here, I will also be happy to compete in the Super World Cup, but that decision is up to the club and my agents", said the full-back. . Wesley lives a positive phase at Flamengo, especially since Filipe Luís took over as coach. The young athlete has established himself as an important player in the Red and Black squad, attracting attention due to his regular performance and his evolution on the field.
FLAMENGO'S RIGHT SIDEBACK
< At just 19 years old, the right-back has stood out for his maturity and consistency. This evolution did not go unnoticed by the club's technical committee, nor by international observers, who already see Wesley as a promising athlete for the European scene. Another big goal for Wesley is to represent the Brazilian team. The player already had a taste of this experience in 2022, when he was called up by then coach Dorival Júnior, currently in charge of the national team. Despite not having played, the full-back keeps his ambition of being called up again alive.
HEIGHT OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP FOR FLAMENGO
"The peak of any player is to wear the Brazilian national team's shirt. I am prepared and looking forward to being called up. If it happens, it will be another dream come true", declared Wesley, showing confidence in his potential. Wesley has shown a balance between ambition and focus on the present. The young man recognizes the importance of standing out at Flamengo to achieve greater goals, such as the national team and international football. "I know that everything depends on what I do here at the club. My focus is to continue evolving and helping the team", he highlighted.
The full-back also recognizes the responsibility of defending Flamengo, especially in high-level competitions, such as the Club World Cup. "It is an honor to wear the Sacred Mantle in any competition, even more so in a world tournament," he said. The visibility gained by Wesley at Flamengo put him on the radar of European clubs. Although he has not confirmed proposals, the player does not hide his desire to play in football on the Old Continent. "The dream of playing in Europe is always present. It is an opportunity for professional and personal growth", he commented.

Last Thursday (4), Uruguay beat Peru 3-0 at the Centenario Stadium in Montevideo, securing their place in the next World Cup . Arrascaeta started and scored the second goal of the match, remaining on the field for 69 minutes. With the result, the Celeste Olímpica joins Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, Colombia and Paraguay as representatives of South America. Venezuela and Bolivia are already competing for a place in the play-offs.
After the victory, Marcelo Bielsa praised the midfielder's performance and highlighted the Gávea club's role in the athlete's recovery, as he had faced physical problems in recent years. The coach made a point of thanking the club's professionals for their work.
“ Regarding Arrascaeta, I would like to give special recognition to Flamengo's technical and medical staff, who have made Arrascaeta a different player this season, this year, than the one I initially knew ,” said Bielsa.
Bielsa highlighted the player's development, emphasizing his importance to both the national team and the club. " Today, he's a player like I'd heard before. And only this year have I been able to see him in terms of his trajectory , what people say about him, and what he's done for the national team. He's very valuable, but what he does at Flamengo , playing twice a week, scoring goals, providing assists... He's a player who, in this form, is very good," the coach added.
Enjoying one of the best moments of his career, the Uruguayan has played 42 games for Mengão in 2024, 37 of them as a starter. The midfielder has excelled in goalscoring and consistent performances, solidifying his position as a key player in the team's strategy.

Three weeks ago, Juninho's representatives presented the club with two loan offers from Arab football . The board, however, rejected the proposals, making it clear that they would only agree to a permanent deal for the striker for a fair fee. Thus, despite previously being on the "expendable" list, the player remained on the roster and will be reused.
Despite the limited opportunities he's had on the pitch so far, Filipe Luís expresses confidence in Juninho. The coach noted that the striker has performed well in training and is maintaining good physical shape. He is expected to return to the squad and earn playing time in the Brazilian Championship. It's worth noting that his signing was approved by the coaching staff at the time.
Bruno Henrique's suspension is unlikely to result in any market movements. Mengão was already considering the possibility of losing the number 27 and believes the current squad offers sufficient alternatives. Filipe Luís believes Pedro has reached his peak physical form and can assume a greater offensive role , while Gonzalo Plata and Wallace Yan are options for the midfield. Furthermore, Juninho will be reinstated in the Brasileirão squad.
The Superior Court of Sports Justice sentenced Bruno Henrique this Thursday (29) to a 12-game suspension and the payment of a fine of R$60,000 . The decision is valid for national competitions, such as the Brazilian Championship and the Copa do Brasil, but does not affect, for now, the Libertadores.
However, the case is expected to be referred to FIFA . If the governing body agrees to extend the ban, the striker will also be barred from international matches, increasing the impact of the punishment for Mengão.

Goalkeeper Bruno, a former Flamengo player , has returned to soccer, this time in an amateur tournament. After a period marked by one of the most controversial cases in Brazilian sports , the athlete is trying to find his place in a new arena.
The former goalkeeper's career gained notoriety both for his performance on the field and for the tragic episode involving the death of his ex-wife , Elisa Samudio, which culminated in his arrest and great national repercussion.
Rive Club recently officially announced the signing of Bruno for the 2025 Municipal de Alegre Championship. The board expressed enthusiasm for the new signing, citing the player's experience and technical ability. " The Rive board is pleased to announce goalkeeper Bruno as another addition to the Municipal de Alegre Championship 2025 ," the team announced on social media.
In a message to fans, the goalkeeper expressed excitement and gratitude for the opportunity. " Hello, Alegre! Beautiful and wonderful city. Hello, Rive fan. I want to tell you that I'm committed to the Municipal Championship. Next Sunday I'll be there defending Rive's colors, and we'll begin our journey, " he declared.
In March 2013, Bruno was sentenced to 22 years and three months in prison for the murder of Eliza Samudio . The court found him guilty of triple homicide, kidnapping, and concealment of a corpse.
The former goalkeeper was granted habeas corpus in February 2017 , but returned to prison two months later, following a decision by the First Chamber of the Supreme Federal Court. In July 2019, he was granted the right to progress to a semi-open prison regime. He has been on parole since January 2023.
