Wesley waits for green light to join Roma

As we’ve been reporting for weeks, Wesley has chosen Roma as his next club and now he’s only waiting for the green light to sign for the Giallorossi.

Wesley has remained committed to his club, Flamengo, until the very end, as he scored a vital goal against Bragantino last night, contributing to a 2-1 away victory.

Wesley set to become third Roma signing

The Brazilian is really close to joining Roma, especially after Flamengo pounced on Milan defender Emerson Royal, making a last-minute offer to beat competition from Turkish side Besiktas.

Roma have already signed central midfielder Neil El Aynaoui from Lens this summer and Evan Ferguson from Brighton. The latter has completed a loan move with an option to buy.
