Right-back Wesley has attracted attention due to his good performances for Flamengo in 2024. In this way, Rubro-Negro begins to protect itself from possible investments in the athlete and, therefore, has already defined the value to negotiate the number 43 in the next transfer window.
Up to At the moment, no team has yet made an official proposal for Wesley. However, amid possible speculation, Flamengo has already made it clear that it will not open negotiations for the side for less than 25 million euros (around R$153 million at current prices). The information is from the ‘Paparazzo Rubro-Negro’ portal.
EYE CLUBS IN WESLEY
As in other windows of transfers, Barcelona (ESP) has already shown interest in Wesley. In addition to the Spanish team, a Premier League club is also keeping an eye on it and is even planning to make an official offer to Flamengo for the right-back.
Wesley's staff and Flamengo's board of directors - who still don't know whether he will continue to lead the club - are sure that a first semester at a high level will bring the spotlight to the young 21-year-old player from another shelf in the football entering members of the elite of the Old Continent are in the fight.
The parties' reading of the deal is that, in this scenario, proposals in the house of 20 million euros, like Atalanta, would no longer be useful. The conversation would have to start at least 25 million euros (R$ 159.8 million) or 30 million euros (R$ 191.7 million).
WESLEY NO FLAMENGO
Remaining at Flamengo, Wesley managed to turn things around and gain the trust of the fans. In this final stretch, the full-back was an important piece in Filipe Luís' tactical scheme, which culminated in the Copa do Brasil title.
FLAMENGO'S NEXT GAME
With Wesley at his disposal, Flamengo faces Internacional this Sunday (01), in the 36th round of the Brasileirão. The match takes place at 4pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã.

Cruzeiro remains interested in signing Matheus Gonçalves and believes it can close the deal. The deal was practically finalized but was canceled at the last minute—the player even learned of the move on the sidelines after a youth team match.
Now, the Minas Gerais club is back in the hunt to convince Flamengo to release the young attacking midfielder. According to Goal, Cruzeiro's vice president of football, Pedro Junio, is in contact with the player's staff , seeking a solution that will please all parties.
Currently, Cruzeiro is resisting the idea of selling the player directly to a competitor in the Brasileirão, a position supported by part of the board. Meanwhile, CSKA Moscow of Russia has also expressed interest but has not yet formalized an official offer. Matheus Gonçalves, however, wants to play for Cruzeiro , believing that at the Minas Gerais club he will get more minutes on the field and a chance to compete for a starting spot.
Cruzeiro's initial offer was €3.5 million (approximately R$22 million) for 50% of the player's economic rights . Flamengo would retain half of his transfer rights, aiming for a profit in any future negotiations. The impasse occurred in July, when the deal was finally finalized and Matheus Gonçalves was very close to leaving Ninho do Urubu.
While Matheus Gonçalves waits to know his future, Flamengo prepares for the first leg of the Copa Libertadores round of 16 against Internacional at Maracanã. The match is this Wednesday (13) at 9:30 pm (Brasília time) and will be broadcast on Rede Globo, ESPN and Disney+.

Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday (13) to face Internacional in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. The ball rolls at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, with broadcast on Globo on open TV . The match will also be shown on ESPN, on subscription TV, and on Disney+, via streaming.
Coach Filipe Luís is expected to field Luiz Araújo in place of Arrascaeta , who is suspended due to a backlog of yellow cards. Thus, the likely lineup for the red-and-blacks is: Rossi; Varela (Emerson Royal), Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro; Jorginho, Allan; Luiz Araújo, Plata, Samuel Lino, and Pedro.
The main news is Jorginho's return to the starting lineup after serving a suspension in the Brasileirão victory over Mirassol. The number 10 will be a significant absence, sitting out the decisive stage of the continental tournament. Expectations are high for a possible debut for Jorge Carrascal, who didn't leave the bench against Leão.
Flamengo and Internacional enter the field looking to open up an advantage for the return match, which will take place next Wednesday (20), at Beira-Rio. Rubro-Negro arrives buoyed by the leadership of the Brasileirão, even with a game less , after defeating Mirassol 2-1 last weekend - a result that helped to recover the spirit of the squad after the early elimination in the Copa do Brasil against Atlético-MG.
Internacional also won in the last Brasileirão match before facing Mengão , when they beat Red Bull Bragantino 3-1 away from home, and interrupted a sequence of four consecutive games without a win, where they were even eliminated from the Copa do Brasil by Fluminense.
The striker was the main highlight of Shabab Al-Ahli, from the United Arab Emirates, and was honored with an important individual award.
