A video of Wesley at a party after the defeat suffered by Flamengo against Botafogo in the Brazilian Championship has been circulating on social media since last Monday (19). Several fans criticized the red-and-black full-back for being in a party after the hard defeat, others tried to attribute the moment to being something old. Now, the player himself tried to put an end to the discussion.
Wesley stated that the party was a farewell with his friends before his trip to Italy, where he would introduce himself to Atalanta who had negotiations advanced with the 21-year-old. The player would then travel to Florianópolis this Tuesday (20) to say goodbye to his family.
“Referring to the video: Monday would be my farewell and I would go to Florianópolis to say goodbye to my mother and then go to Italy. So, I went to the party to say goodbye with my friends. So, stop saying things you don't know”, wrote Wesley in an Instagram post.
The situation, however, changed this Tuesday. Atalanta completed the signing of Raoul Bellanova, from Torino, and with that gave up the negotiation for Gávea's number 43 shirt. Flamengo and Atalanta had a disagreement regarding the date on which Wesley should report to the Italian club.
The Bergamo team put in a contract that the full-back had to be in Italy on August 23rd. The red-and-black asked for a longer period, releasing the athlete on the 26th, but coach Gian Piero Gasperini's team believed that, if Wesley did not pass the medical exams, there would be little time to make another signing.
Flamengo's football director, Bruno Spindel commented on the negotiations at the CBF headquarters after the draw for the Copa do Brasil. Spindel raised his tone and said that Flamengo players only leave the club with a signed contract.
The teams play the first game of the quarterfinals at 7 p.m.
