Positive developments are emerging for AS Roma concerning the transfer of Wesley. According to Il Messaggero, the Flamengo defender`s agent met with the Brazilian club overnight, presenting a new offer of €25 million, which includes various bonuses. The agent reportedly left the meeting satisfied and confident that the deal is on the verge of being finalized.
Roma`s sporting director, Frederic Massara, accelerated negotiations after AC Milan showed interest. Milan, after failing to secure Guela Doue (brother of PSG`s Desire), attempted to intervene in the Wesley negotiations but without success. Should any unforeseen issues arise, the Giallorossi already have an alternative lined up: Andrei Rațiu from Rayo Vallecano. However, the primary focus remains on securing the signature of the talented 2003-born player.
Shifting focus to the attacking front, Evan Ferguson is reportedly closer than ever to joining Roma. The player`s strong desire to make the move was a crucial factor, ultimately leading Brighton to agree to his departure. Both parties are nearing a full agreement for the Seagulls` forward to transfer to Serie A. He is expected to compete for a starting spot with Artem Dovbyk, the Ukrainian forward formerly of Girona, who, despite facing criticism last season, still managed to score 12 league goals.
