Even as he is about to start a new cycle in his career, coach Gian Piero Gasperini keeps old dreams in mind. Upon arriving at Roma, the Italian once again put the name of Wesley , Flamengo's right-back, on his radar. The player is an old acquaintance of the coach since his days at Atalanta, and now he could become a key player behind the scenes in an Italian football classic.


According to journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Gasperini has once again asked to sign Wesley, reinforcing the interest he had previously shown . However, the competition is strong: according to the newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus is also preparing an offer to try to take the player. The values are around €20 million (approximately R$126 million), with the negotiation being led by the new general manager of the Old Lady, Damien Comolli.


IMPASSE IN ROME DELAYS MOVEMENT


Despite the desire to count on Wesley , Roma is going through a transition period behind the scenes. The club should make official in the next few days the departure of the current sporting director , Florent Ghisolfi, who will be replaced. Among the favorites for the position are Federico Balzaretti and Frederic Massara, names already known to the Roma board.

Only after this decision is made will Gasperini intend to treat Wesley's arrival as a priority for next season . The coach, who will be in charge of his first club since leaving Atalanta in 2016, sees the young Rubro-Negro as an ideal fit for his playing system.


NEGOTIATION ONLY AFTER THE CLUB WORLD CUP

For now, any progress in the negotiations depends on the reopening of the transfer window in the middle of the year. This means that any decision on Wesley's future will only happen after the Club World Cup , which is being played in the United States.

The full-back continues training with Flamengo , but was not used in the debut against Espérance de Tunis (TUN). On that occasion, Guillermo Varela was the starter in the position . According to Filipe Luís, the choice was strategic, based on the characteristics that the match required.

FLAMENGO X CHELSEA ON FRIDAY

Wesley could get another chance on Friday (20), when Flamengo faces Chelsea (ENG), in the main clash of Group D of the World Cup . The duel takes place at 3 pm (Brasília time), at Lincoln Financial Field, in Philadelphia. In the other game of the round, Espérance-TUN and Los Angeles FC (USA) face each other.
