O lateral-direito Wesley, do Flamengo, é um dos alvos do Manchester City para a próxima janela de transferências. Segundo o jornalista italiano especializado em mercado Gianluca Di Marzio, o time inglês pretende fechar a contratação do jogador de 21 anos antes do Mundial de Clubes da Fifa, que terá início no dia 14 de junho.
Ainda conforme o jornalista, o Manchester City definiu Wesley como principal alvo para a lateral-direita e preferiu o brasileiro ao inglês Tino Livramento, do Newcastle. Contudo, ainda não se sabe quanto o clube está disposto a oferecer pelo atleta rubro-negro.
Na última janela de transferência, o Flamengo negou ofertas na casa dos 20 milhões de euros pelo Wesley. O jogador, inclusive, esteve bem perto de se transferir para a Atalanta, da Itália, em agosto do ano passado, mas a negociação não foi para frente.
Recentemente, Wesley foi eleito o melhor lateral sub-23 fora da Europa em um estudo divulgado pelo Centro Internacional de Estudos de Esporte (CIES Football Observatory), que avalia os atletas ao redor do mundo. O jogador de 21 anos lidera a lista baseada no desempenho dos laterais esquerdos e direitos.
O defensor do Flamengo vem se destacando desde que Filipe Luís assumiu o comando do time no ano passado. Seu desempenho, inclusive, resultou na sua convocação para a seleção brasileira na última data-fifa.

Rafael Devers shoots down move to 1B after Triston Casas injury, lays into Red Sox front office
Rafael Devers entered the season under a cloud of controversy due to his disinterest in moving from third base to designated hitter. Now, he's balking at another move.The longtime third baseman has been a full-time designated hitter this season after the Boston Red Sox signed another All-Star at the position, Alex Bregman, over the offseason. However, the first base position is now wide open for Boston after Triston Casas' season-ending ruptured patellar tendon.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementSome thought Devers would be a natural solution given that third basemen frequently make an appearance on the first base depth charts, but the 28-year-old shot the idea down and then some on Thursday.Through an interpreter, he told reporters the front office had approached him about the move and that his answer was a firm "no," via Christopher Smith of MassLive:“They had the conversation with me,” Devers said […]
The Anaheim Ducks are eager to win again, but is hiring coach Joel Quenneville a good move?
ANAHEIM, Calif. — In an instant, Joel Quenneville became the most accomplished head coach the Anaheim Ducks have ever hired — and the one with the most baggage.The Ducks, in hiring the three-time Stanley Cup champion, whose stature may be forever tarnished by his role in a sexual assault scandal while he was the coach of the Chicago Blackhawks, let their mission be known: They’re out to win.AdvertisementThey’ve braced themselves for the blowback after the announcement on Thursday. For many, the idea of letting Quenneville back in the NHL is a non-starter. And the Ducks knew they would take a public relations hit for their choice when they easily could have avoided the fuss – if not outright scorn – by going in another direction. Multiple other candidates, including David Carle, Jay Woodcroft and Rick Tocchet, were interviewed.The thing is, […]

Getty Images With the election of American cardinal Robert Prevost as the new pope, the City of Chicago is abuzz with Pope Leo XIV being one of their own. Long before being elected as the 267th pope and leader of the Roman Catholic Church on Thursday, Pope Leo XIV -- the first pope from the United States -- was born in Chicago, and the city's two Major League Baseball teams are trying to settle exactly who now has the rooting interests of the entire Catholic Church behind them.On Thursday afternoon -- running with a claim by an ABC News reporter -- the Chicago Cubs boasted that Pope Leo XIV was a fan of theirs, with their famous signage outside Wrigley Field telling the locals the good news: "Hey, Chicago. He's a Cubs fan!" However, those claims would quickly be contradicted by John […]
