- Gasperini wants เวสลีย์ on priority
- The Brazilian has agreed terms with โรม่า
- ฟลาเมงโก้ have rejected recent bid
Flamengo have rejected Roma’s recent bid of €22 million (£19m/$25m), as they stand firm to their demand of €25m (£21m/$29m) for the full-back. According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Wesley is being considered a top target by Roma, and they are now expected to prepare a new bid to secure the services of the Brazilian, who is liked by Gasperini.
After a successful tenure under Claudio Ranieri, the Giallorossi are all set to embark on a new era under Gasperini, who brought continental success in the form of the ยูโรปาลีก to fellow กัลโช่ เซเรีย อา ด้านข้าง อตาลันต้า. The squad is set for a revamp, and Gasperini wants Wesley, who can offer both defensive and offensive คุณสมบัติ to the Italian’s style of play. Wesley, despite being a full-back, is also flexible enough to shift to a right midfielder role, a profile somewhat similar to that of Denzel Dumfries or Jeremie Frimpong, who recently signed for Liverpool.
Roma, who are yet to make a signing in the summer transfer window, have also been linked with ไบรท์ตัน forward Evan Ferguson and are said to be eyeing struggling แมนเชสเตอร์ยูไนเต็ด forward Rasmus Hojlund, too.
Roma will kickstart their Serie A campaign on August 23 with a match against โบโลญญา at the Stadio Olimpico. By then, Gasperini will hope to have a few new additions to his squad.
