Manchester United adds Wesley to defensive target list

Manchester United have added Brazilian Wesley, a full-back from AS Roma, to their list of targets to strengthen their defense as the club looks to continue rebuilding their backline. According to recent reports, the player is being monitored by the English club's management, with no official negotiations taking place yet.

Manchester United are interested in the player, alongside Arsenal and Atlético Madrid, with reports previously revealing both clubs are monitoring Wesley closely.

Wesley has joined AS Roma from Flamengo in the summer of 2025, on a contract that runs until 2030. He has proven his ability to play as a full-back and winger on the right side, which adds extra value for clubs looking for a defender capable of advancing offensively.

Reports indicate that AS Roma are currently not planning to part ways with the player, but the club may consider big offers, with estimates suggesting the deal could reach around €55-60 million, making Wesley's future a point of interest for several European clubs in the upcoming period.
