Manchester City has set in motion its signing machinery with a clear objective: to incorporate Wesley, right-back from Flamengo, before the start of the 2025 Club World Cup. The English team sees the young Brazilian as the ideal piece to reinforce a position weakened by Kyle Walker's departure. If the deal doesn't materialize in time, the club already has an alternative: Tino Livramento from Newcastle.
The defense of the current European champion has faced unexpected adjustments during the last season. Walker's temporary move to AC Milan forced Pep Guardiola to improvise solutions, even converting midfielders to cover the right flank. Although Rico Lewis has performed reliably, the Catalan coach demands a more explosive profile with international projection. In Wesley, at just 21 years old, he has found an option that fits his model.
Manchester City wants to sign a right-back
The Flamengo defender has shown significant progress since breaking into the first team in 2023. His offensive ability and tactical maturity have attracted interest from several European clubs, but City has decided to make a serious offer, aware that his presence in the Club World Cup could be decisive on the global stage.
As an alternative, Livramento is also on the radar, although not at the top of Guardiola's preferences. Despite his versatility and experience in the Premier League, the Spaniard believes that Wesley represents a project with greater medium-term potential. The priority is to finalize the deal in the coming weeks to integrate the Brazilian into the team structure as soon as possible, aiming for a new world title for the Etihad's trophy room.
