AS Roma have sealed a key defensive signing for the summer window: Flamengo right-back Wesley joins the club in a deal worth €30 million, adding a dynamic presence to the Lupi’s backline.
The 23-year-old Brazilian has emerged as a rising star in the Brasileirão, making 89 appearances for Flamengo over the past two seasons. Renowned for his sharp tackling, decisive interceptions, and ability to surge forward in attack, Wesley’s standout trait is his "two-way" impact – he can shut down opposition wingers while linking up with midfield to deliver crosses, a quality highly valued by Roma manager José Mourinho.
For Roma, the signing represents a targeted upgrade at right-back, with the €30 million investment underscoring their ambition. Wesley will compete with and complement the existing defensive options, strengthening the squad’s prospects for the upcoming Serie A and European campaigns.
From Rio de Janeiro to Rome, Wesley’s European adventure is set to begin. Roma fans will be hoping he brings his Brasileirão form to the Stadio Olimpico, becoming a reliable new pillar in the team’s defense.
