Roma are reportedly getting closer to the signing of Wesley of Flamengo.
The Giallorossi have in fact presented an offer of 25 million euros, including bonuses, to secure the services of the 2003-born winger, writes La Gazzetta dello Sport.

The player was also convinced by the direct pressure from Gian Piero Gasperini, Roma’s new coach, who indicated the winger among his first transfer targets.
Last summer, Wesley had already been close to joining Atalanta but the deal fell through. Now, a year later, the scenario has moved to the capital, with Roma ready to close the deal in the next few hours.
The player has already given the green light for the transfer to take place.
Wesley chose the Roman destination also thanks to the advice of a friend and former Giallorossi player, Gerson, who advised him to move to Serie A.
However, the real decisive element was the central role that Gasperini intends to assign to him in the new Roma, a project that has thrilled the player.

According to leaks, the agreement is expected to be found on the basis of a loan with an obligation to buy, in a synergy between Roma and Everton.
This formula would guarantee financial flexibility to the Roman club, while ensuring control of the player’s rights.
However, the definitive agreement with Flamengo, which has always valued the player at around 30 million, still needs to be defined.
The Brazilian club is now examining the Roman offer, and the player’s will could represent a decisive lever to lower Flamengo’s financial demands.
There is optimism for a positive conclusion in the near future.
