Atalanta are on the verge of securing Brazilian winger Wesley from Flamengo, with only minor details regarding bonuses left to be ironed out. The deal is expected to be finalized this week, with the transfer fee set at €16 million plus an additional €4 million in bonuses.
Gianluca Di Marzio reports how after the collapse of their pursuit of Marc Pubill, Atalanta swiftly shifted their focus to strengthening their right flank with Wesley. The negotiations between the Italian club and Flamengo have progressed smoothly, with both parties now in the final stages of agreeing on the structure of the bonus payments.
Wesley’s imminent arrival at Atalanta marks a significant addition to their squad, providing manager Gian Piero Gasperini with a talented and versatile option on the right wing. The young Brazilian has shown great promise in his performances for Flamengo, catching the eye of several European clubs.
The total package of €20 million, including bonuses, demonstrates Atalanta’s commitment to investing in young talent with high potential. This transfer aligns with the club’s strategy of identifying and developing promising players who can contribute immediately while also increasing in value over time.
