Arsenal, Newcastle and Manchester United all keen on Serie A defender
Story updated
The story in brief
36-second readManchester United, Arsenal, and Newcastle United are tracking Roma wing-back Wesley, according to Sport Witness, as reported by EPL Index. Wesley's reputation has risen sharply over the past year, increasing his potential transfer cost. Roma paid €30m to sign him in 2025.
Wesley has become an important figure under Gian Piero Gasperini at Roma, adapting to both right and left wing-back roles. His versatility and growing international standing have attracted Premier League clubs. Roma are under no pressure to sell, with a strong position due to his increased value.
Wesley's value has doubled to around €60m due to his development, complicating matters for suitors. Manchester United must assess whether their system suits him as a wing-back, where he excels, or as a conventional full-back, affecting the appeal of the €60m investment.
