According to Coluna do Fla on X, Manchester City are ready to launch a €35 million offer for Brazilian full-back prospect Wesley. The right-back approves of the move to the former English champions, with Flamengo looking to stretch their asking price to €40 million.
Manchester City are expected to enter the summer market to strengthen multiple positions of their squad. Pep Guardiola wants a new right back among other players for different roles, with a host of options being discussed and considered by the club ahead of the summer.
Pedro Porro was a target earlier, although Tottenham’s asking price for the Spaniard may prove prohibitive for Manchester City to conclude any deal. There are other names in the mix as Kyle Walker is expected to move out permanently in the summer after spending the second part of the season on loan at AC Milan, who are eager to keep him beyond the summer.
Manchester City were recently interested in Tino Livramento, with Newcastle United uninterested in considering any offers for their full-back. The former Chelsea youth product could be an ideal signing for Guardiola’s style of play, but it appears they have an alternative in mind.
Manchester City reportedly prefer Wesley over Livramento, with the club already sounding out a move for the Flamengo right-back well ahead of the summer window. The Brazilian full-back prospect has already approved of the project at Manchester City and could agree to a move as well as a contract with Guardiola’s side.
Manchester City have seemingly held conversations for Wesley and are reportedly ready to make a €35 million bid to sign the Brazilian full-back prospect. Flamengo might see the wisdom in accepting this proposal, although they are also exploring the idea of stretching their asking price to €40 million.
The two clubs are expected to enter into negotiations over the fee and finalise a move for the Brazilian full-back prospect. For the price Manchester City are willing to pay right now, Wesley does not seem like a secondary player for them, as the 21-year-old already has more than 120 senior appearances for Flamengo, as the size of the investment does make him look like Walker’s replacement at the Etihad.
