Despite the interest, the conversations did not progress. Flamengo established a value considered high for the negotiation: around 30 million euros, a figure that the club considers to be fair given the player's potential and market. Zenit, a traditional Russian club, showed interest in acquiring the right-back Wesley, from Flamengo. The information indicates that the player is on the radar of the Russian team, which was looking to reinforce its squad with the young athlete.


WESLEY STANDS OUT IN MENGÃO


Wesley has been an important player in red-black cast. At just 19 years old, the right-back has established himself as a frequent option in the first team, drawing attention for his skill, speed and ability to support both defense and attack.Flamengo's stance reflects the club's strategy in value its base athletes.


ZENIT FACES COMPETITION INTERNATIONAL

Although Zenit showed initiative, interest in Wesleyis not exclusive. Clubs from other leagues have also been monitoring the full-back's performance, which could increase competition for his signature in future transfer windows. With the negotiation halted, Wesley remains integrated into the CRF squad, focused on the challenges of the Brazilian Championship and other competitions.


The player has even been one of the highlights in the latest Mengão, gaining trust from the coaching staff. In recent years,Mais Querido has adopted a policy of not giving away young promises for values ​​that do not reflect their potential in the international market.

For Flamengo, keeping Wesley means strengthening the squad in the short term, but the club does not rule out opening new negotiations in the future, if the proposals meet the red and black interests. For now, the full-back continue being one of Gávea's promises and the target of the fans' expectations.
