The negotiation involving the young right-back Wesley, from Flamengo, and Atalanta, from Italy, took an unexpected turn that generated great frustration for the athlete. In the midst of a season of speculation and transfers, Wesley found himself very close to completing his move to European football, in a transaction that promised to change the player's financial situation. However, despite expectations and preparations, the situation became unexpectedly complicated.
One of the main attractions of Atalanta's offer to Wesley was the salary proposal. The Italian team was willing to offer a salary three times higher than what the player currently receives at Flamengo. This significant appreciation was seen by the athlete as a unique opportunity to boost his career in one of the most competitive centers in world football, in addition to ensuring financial stability for the future.

The expectation was that everything would be resolved in a matter of days, with the player reporting to his new club soon.
However, the negotiation that seemed to be about to be concluded took an unexpected turn, leaving the athlete in a delicate situation. According to information obtained, Wesley was surprised by the interruption of talks between Flamengo and Atalanta, which put his transfer to European football at risk. The situation generated great discomfort and dissatisfaction for the player, who did not hide his frustration with the unexpected outcome.

The English team's striker is at the end of his contract and Tottenham are open to hearing offers for the player in the next transfer window.
