Wesley

Wesley of Roma was born on 6 September 2003 (age 22).

Wesley, born on 6 September 2003 (age 22), is a Brazilian right-back now with Roma, though his senior career is still shaped mainly by Flamengo. He made 78 league appearances there across four seasons, scoring twice, and that remains the main body of his work.

Flamengo gave him the first-team volume that matters for a young defender. It was not a token development spell or a brief staging post, but the club where he became a regular professional before moving on to Italy.

At Roma in 2025–26, Wesley has remained a proper part of the side. He has made 30 Serie A appearances, scoring five goals, with 39 appearances and five goals in all competitions when his Coppa Italia and Europa League games are included. That league return is the most productive of his career so far.

He has also been involved with Brazil this season, making three appearances in South American World Cup qualifying. His market value is around £21.5m, according to Transfermarkt.

His career to date is a substantial Flamengo spell followed by a regular role at Roma, with his 2025–26 season keeping him firmly in the first-team picture.

Wesley was a regular for Roma in Serie A, making 30 appearances and starting 28 times. Five league goals from right-back pointed to a role with real attacking responsibility, while seven yellow cards and two reds showed a disciplinary cost attached to that intensity.

Wesley’s senior path has been compact but upward. The available record shows moves from Tubarão to Flamengo and then to Roma by the age of 22, with the Italian spell immediately bringing a heavy league workload and attacking output from defence.

The transfer record suggests clear progression in level. Wesley moved from Tubarão to Flamengo for an undisclosed fee in 2021, then Roma paid €22.00m in July 2025. With a listed market value of €25.00m, the move looks like a significant investment rather than a squad-depth punt.
