AC Milan have enquired about the signing of Wesley Vinícius França Lima from Flamengo, according to a report.
As per the latest from Sky, Milan have asked about Wesley who is a right-back for Flamengo and the Brazilian national team. Roma, however, have the upper hand because they have already reached an agreement with the player over personal terms.

Despite this, the Giallorossi still need to reach an agreement with the Brazilian club over a transfer fee. Until that happens, the door can be considered open for the Rossoneri to try a hijack, but they will have to move quickly.
Sky also reported in the past 24 hours that a final attempt would be made for Guela Doue of Strasbourg, and that Marc Pubill of Almeria was the alternative target. The 21-year-old Wesley clearly fits into the list somewhere too, therefore.
Wesley has made 135 appearances across all competitions for Flamengo, amassing three goals and six assists in that time. He came through the youth academy there, and has made two appearances for the senior Brazilian national team too.
Transfermarkt has his valuation at €20m, but there is no mention about the figure that it might take in order to convince Flamengo to sell.
I’d take Nathaniel Brown and Wesley, with all of the circumstances.
These 2 plus Vlahovic and Jashari would make us contender worthy side… although Napoli and Inter are going for great players as well
Linked to everyone under the blue moon. Tiring.
Just send T.silva Kaka Seghino Dida to convince the to sell him to Milan.
Wesley and Estupinan on the both back wings
Wesley would be the best choice, just don’t haggle with Flamengo, pay them what they want, he’s a quality player
Unfortunately this is just media bait, not based in fact. Whenever its a genuinely good player you know we arent serious about buying him.
He’d be at least 25mn, probably 30mn. Would love to sign him but I can’t see us competing at those prices. Makes sense if we get Dodo for 22mn or so but more likely we’ll go shopping in the 15mn zone
But Flamengo wants 30 M, ain’t gonna happen
Seems Milan’s policy is to intentionally low ball their first offer, and increase at snail speed, as they can’t be seen to be inactive on the market. In actual fact they have no intention of closing the deal, the cheap “affordable” player on moncada’s list would be brought forward as an acceptable alternative. I have not seen a Tare signing yet. Ricci was closed before his arrival, and Modric? Is a free transfer and needed a ‘top’ club to guarantee fitness and competitiveness till next year’s world cup. Seems the Furlani bug has bitten everyone.
