Right-back Wesley, born in Açailândia, Maranhão, is on the radar of clubs in Italy and Germany, looking for reinforcements for their teams. The player's career has been marked by challenges and overcoming since his childhood. Wesley moved with his family to the Sambaqui neighborhood, in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, when he was two years old. His dream of standing out in football took him to Figueirense's youth categories in 2019, but a crisis at the club resulted in the deactivation of its youth divisions, leading to the player's dismissal, who was unable to even carry out tests at rival Avaí.

In August 2019, Wesley found an opportunity at Atlético Tubarão. His rise was remarkable, and at the age of 16, he was integrated into the professional team. However, the club faced sporting difficulties, resulting in a six-month debt in relation to the allowance they provided to Wesley. Wesley's professional debut took place in January 2021, in a 3-0 defeat to Joinville in the Copa Santa Catarina.

At Atlético Tubarão, he played in just five matches without scoring goals. Thanks to the help of former player Sávio, who is also Wesley's manager, the player got an opportunity at Flamengo in 2021, being approved in just two days. Less than a month later, he was already a starter in the under-20 team and signed a training contract with the club. At the end of 2021, Wesley made his debut for Flamengo's main team, coming on as a starter in a match against Atlético Goianiense.


In 2022, he stood out for Flamengo's under-20 team in the Copa São Paulo of Junior Football and made his debut in the professional team, appearing in a victory over Portuguesa-RJ in the Campeonato Carioca. The second half of 2022 marked a special moment for Wesley, who was involved by coach Dorival Júnior in Flamengo's historic campaign in the Copa Libertadores da América.


The year 2023 saw Wesley establish himself even more on the Brazilian football scene. His first match took place in January, in the Campeonato Carioca, and later, in April, he debuted in the continental competition against Aucas. With the arrival of coach Jorge Sampaoli at Flamengo, Wesley began to gain more space in the starting team, celebrating his first goal as a professional player in a victory over Racing in the Copa Libertadores da América. Wesley's trajectory is a story of determination, perseverance and talent, and his journey in football promises to excite fans and attract the eyes of international clubs in search of young talent.

Two young talents revealed by Flamengo shone in Europe this Saturday (14). Goalkeeper Kauã Santos made his Bundesliga debut for Eintracht Frankfurt, helping the team to a 2-1 victory over Wolfsburg. Kauã entered the field after the experienced Kevin Trapp was injured at the end of the first half. Meanwhile, defender Léo Duarte scored his first goal in European football, securing Basaksehir's 1-0 victory over Bodrum in the Turkish league.

Kauã Santos, who arrived at Flamengo at the age of 16, he never played for the Rio club's main team. After standing out in the youth categories, the goalkeeper caught the attention of Eintracht Frankfurt, who invested R$8.4 million for 70% of his economic rights. On his debut, Kauã was unable to save a penalty taken by Baku, but held off Wolfsburg's pressure, helping to maintain his team's victory.


In turn, Léo Duarte, Copinha champion, rose to Flamengo professionals in 2016 and, little by little, established himself as a starter. In 2018, Milan, from Italy, spent 11 million euros to sign him. After a discreet spell at the Italian club, Léo transferred to Basaksehir, where he finally scored for the first time in Europe.

Léo Duarte and Kauã Santos' moment in Europe

Léo Duarte's Basaksehir occupies third place in the Turkish league with 10 points, just two less than leader Galatasaray. Kauã Santos' Eintracht Frankfurt is in sixth place in the Bundesliga, with six points, three behind leaders Bayern Munich.
