Wesley landed in Italy on Sunday morning to take the medicals ahead of his Roma switch. The Giallorossi<\/em> had been focusing on him all summer long and eventually persuaded Flamengo.<\/p>\n According to Sky<\/em>, the capital club will shell out \u20ac25M plus \u20ac5M add-ons. They had struck a deal a while back, but the counterparty wanted to secure a quality replacement first. It\u2019s Emerson Royal, who had fallen out of favor at Milan. They pipped Besiktas at the post with a \u20ac9M bid. The Rossoneri<\/em> had paid \u20ac15M to add him from Tottenham a year ago. He was the starter for half a season, then he sustained a serious calf injury and never re-entered the rotation.<\/p>\n New Roma coach Gian Piero Gasperini already wanted Wesley at Atalanta. The fullback has totaled 6 goals and 7 assists in 152 matches with Flamengo. He has two caps with Brazil. Unlike Richard Rios, who transferred to Benfica, he was determined to move only to the Giallorossi<\/em>.<\/p>\n La Lupa<\/em> is also closing in on Verona\u2019s Daniele Ghilardi for about \u20ac10M plus bonuses. Their manager continues to ask to act hastily in the transfer market. Next on their agenda is an attacker who could play on the left side of their frontline. The most recent options are Igor Paixao and Fabio Silva, but the search is ongoing.<\/p>\n They had to pay a good chunk of change and be very patient, but it\u2019s always positive to land a primary target in an area of need. He\u2019s not much of a scorer or a big presence in the box like other wing-backs coached by Gasperini, but the tactician evidently believes in his potential and that he\u2019ll be a threat nonetheless.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\nOur Take on Roma and Wesley<\/h3>\n
