Wesley is increasingly on the rise, on and off the field. With the ball rolling, the attacker continues to be fundamental for coach António Oliveira. Outside of it, it could save Timão’s financial season, thanks to West Ham’s million-dollar proposal. According to the club’s budget, it would need to raise an additional R$47.9 million by the end of the season, to end the year positively .
That’s why, even though he’s firmly established in Corinthians’ starting lineup, Wesley is close to moving to football on the old continent. Heavily investigated in recent weeks, the player aroused interest in teams such as West Ham, Brighton and Crystal Palace, from England, as well as Atlético de Madrid, from Spain.
Wesley could become the biggest sale in Corinthians history
With 70% of Wesley’s economic rights, and with a contract valid until the middle of 2027, Corinthians has already agreed to sell the player for a value below the termination fine for the foreign market. According to the report, the need to make transfers to close the accounts in the black in 2024, makes the black and white board consider accepting the values offered at the moment.

With Wesley in the starting lineup, Corinthians returns to the field this Saturday (11), at 4pm (Brasília time), at the Maracanã stadium. Needing to win to confirm the reaction in the Brazilian Championship, coach António Oliveira’s men face none other than Tite’s Flamengo, in a match valid for the fifth round of the national competition.
