RPL Transfers, Winter 2025: Zenit May Buy Flamengo Defender Wesley, What Kind of Player, Career, Statistics, Details




Meet Flamengo's Wesley, who could provide a permanent solution to the team's troubled right flank.



Zenit's search for a new right-back is dragging on and risks bc data china into the same "Brazilian soap opera" as the story of buying a replacement for Malcom. The transfer of Uruguayan Gaston Martirena, apparently, fell through, so the St. Petersburg club switched to another player.


The potential newcomer plays in Brazil, the blue-white-blues' favorite selection destination. Local media and insiders write about the Russian champion's negotiations regarding the acquisition of Wesley Franca from Flamengo. If the incoming information is to be believed, the 21-year-old footballer could become the most expensive defender in the history of the RPL!


Journalist Julio Miguel Neto published some stunning figures: Zenit is ready to offer more than €25 million for Wesley! Flamengo, in turn, wants to get €30 million from the sale of their talent, since Manchester City is also interested in him. If a deal on such terms happens, Wesley will break the RPL transfer record for defenders. So far, the first place in this rating is occupied by Bruno Alves, whom Zenit bought in 2010 from Porto for €22 million. But frankly speaking, it is hard to believe.

So, they will have to increase it.
