Roma Defender Enters Manchester City's Radar

The "CaughtOffside" website revealed that AS Roma may face strong competition in the summer transfer market for the services of Brazilian right-back Wesley França, amid growing interest from major European clubs.

According to the same source, the 22-year-old player has become one of the most closely watched defenders in Europe, with clubs from England and Spain interested in closely monitoring his situation.

The report indicated that clubs such as Manchester City, Barcelona, and Real Madrid are monitoring the player as part of their target list, along with other clubs in the English Premier League.

The source clarified that Roma had signed the player from Flamengo in July 2025, in a deal estimated at around 25 million euros plus 5 million euros in variables, and that the player has since succeeded in establishing himself in the starting lineup.

Wesley's contract with Roma extends until June 2030, giving the Italian club a strong position in any potential negotiations, while his market value is estimated at around 40 million euros, with expectations that the club will demand a higher amount if official offers are made.

Clubs such as Newcastle United, Arsenal, and Tottenham Hotspur have also expressed interest in following the player.

Manchester City sees the player as a suitable option in their project to renew the full-back position, while Real Madrid and Barcelona continue to monitor the situation, although financial conditions may be a significant factor in any move.

The source confirmed that Roma is not under pressure to sell the player, but his rapid development and physical and technical abilities have made him one of the most sought-after names in his position across Europe.
