Wesley is drawing serious Premier League interest, but AS Roma are in control of the deal. Their valuation sits around €50-60 million, and they are not prepared to open talks for less than that. Wesley is also under contract until 30 June 2030, which gives Roma a strong hand even before the bidding starts.
Roma's leverage
The timeline matters here because Roma bought Wesley from Flamengo in the summer of 2025 for 25 million plus 5 million in bonuses. Less than a year later, they are already talking from a position of strength. The club have no incentive to move quickly, especially with sources saying they are not prepared to sell the Brazil international in the middle of the campaign.
The valuation itself is the first barrier. One report puts the floor at around €50 million, while the broader market expectation is €50-60 million. Either way, it is not a number that invites a cheap winter move.
Premier League interest
Manchester United, Arsenal and Newcastle are all monitoring Wesley. Carrick has already said United will be looking at the next transfer window and trying to come out stronger, but that does not change Roma's stance.
Newcastle's interest has even been described as exploratory rather than serious, which fits the wider picture. Wesley's Serie A rating of 6.97 across 6 appearances and 431 minutes shows why clubs are watching him, and his 6.42 in the Champions League across 3 European appearances is still enough to keep him on the radar.
Roma have the leverage, the contract and the asking price. Unless one of the interested clubs goes well beyond the current valuation, Wesley looks set to stay where he is when the window opens.
