The AS Rome presented Wesley from Flamengo as the fourth external newcomer. For the 21 -year -old right -back, who signs a contract in Rome by 2030, 25 million euros will flow towards Brazil, which makes it the most expensive purchase of this summer with the Romans. If it is hit and all bonuses are reached, the transfer would increase to EUR 30 million – a sum that was only exceeded six times at the Giallorossi.
Wesley has been part of the Flamengo professional squad since 2023 and completed 136 games in which he was involved in ten goals. Among other things, he won the Brazilian trophy and the Copa Libertadores 2022 with the team from Rio de Janeiro.
For the time being, Wesley ends up in fourth place in the Flamengos club history. In front of him are Vinicius Junior (45 million, Real Madrid), Lucas Paquetá (38.4 million, Milan) and Reinier (30 million, Real Madrid). The two -time national player of Seleção is the 48th Brazilian who wears the AS Rome jersey – but in the current squad he is the only one. Before him, big names such as Alisson, Marquinhos or Cafu were used for the Giallorossi.
