Roma prepare new bid for Flamengo full-back Wesley as Gian Piero Gasperini makes Brazilian his top priority

<p>Flamengo have rejected Roma's recent bid of €22 million (£19m/$25m), as they stand firm to their demand of €25m (£21m/$29m) for the full-back. According to journalist <a href="https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1945006163193704600" target="_blank">Fabrizio Romano</a>, Wesley is being considered a top target by Roma, and they are now expected to prepare a new bid to secure the services of the Brazilian, who is liked by Gasperini.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>After a successful tenure under Claudio Ranieri, the Giallorossi are all set to embark on a new era under Gasperini, who brought continental success in the form of the Europa League to fellow Serie A side Atalanta. The squad is set for a revamp, and Gasperini wants Wesley, who can offer both defensive and offensive features to the Italian's style of play. Wesley, despite being a full-back, is also flexible enough to shift to a right midfielder role, a profile somewhat similar to that of Denzel Dumfries or Jeremie Frimpong, who recently signed for Liverpool.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Roma, who are yet to make a signing in the summer transfer window, have also been linked <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/evan-ferguson-off-roma-brighton-striker-agrees-transfer-serie-a-double-swoop-brighton-team-mates/bltd36a1cdaf2a48c74" target="_blank">with Brighton forward Evan Ferguson</a> and are said to be eyeing struggling Manchester United forward Rasmus Hojlund, too.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Roma will kickstart their Serie A campaign on August 23 with a match against Bologna at the Stadio Olimpico. By then, Gasperini will hope to have a few new additions to his squad.</p>
