FC Barcelona continues working in the transfer market with the intention of reinforcing its squad for the upcoming season. One of the names that has resurfaced strongly in the club's sports management is Wesley Vinícius França Lima, the right-back from Flamengo, who has shown remarkable progress in recent months and has established himself as one of the great promises of Brazilian football.

Barça had previously had Wesley on their radar a couple of seasons ago when he was not yet a regular in the first team of the Rio-based club. At that time, they tried to secure a loan with an option to buy, but Flamengo's high economic demands prevented the operation from reaching a successful conclusion. Instead, the Catalan club opted for Julián Araujo, although his time with the team was brief and he ended up being sold to Bournemouth.

Competition will be fierce due to his considerable growth in skill level

Now, with Wesley firmly established in Flamengo's starting lineup and the possibility of debuting soon with the Brazilian national team, Barcelona's interest has been reignited. However, his price has skyrocketed. Flamengo, which holds 90% of the player's rights, has valued his departure at 35 million euros, making it one of the club's most valuable sales in recent years.

According to the newspaper Sport, Barcelona is aware that the competition will be fierce, especially with Premier League clubs willing to pay the amount demanded by Flamengo. Nevertheless, the club's sports management continues to monitor the player in the hope of finding a way to secure his signing without jeopardizing its delicate financial situation. Wesley is an appealing option, but the club will need to assess if it can afford the investment or seek more affordable alternatives in the European market.
