Wesley's performances for Roma have attracted attention from outside Italy. Scouts from Arsenal and Atlético Madrid were reportedly in Istanbul on 10 September to observe the Brazilian defender closely during Fenerbahçe's match against Roma.

Both Premier League and La Liga clubs are now monitoring Wesley's development with interest, and could attempt to sign him in the January transfer window. Roma, however, have no intention of letting him leave easily. The club's valuation is substantial: any potential sale would require an offer of at least €55–60 million.

Arsenal and Atlético Madrid scouts were present in Istanbul on 10 September to watch Wesley during Roma's match, according to multiple Italian outlets. The Brazilian defender has caught the attention of both the Premier League and La Liga, with both clubs potentially eyeing a move in the January transfer window. Roma have set a firm valuation: GialloRossi.net reports a asking price of €55–60 million, while Forza Roma states the figure at no lower than €60 million, reflecting the club's recent rejection of a Chelsea offer. Either way, Roma have made clear their reluctance to part with the defender without a substantial bid.

The match itself, however, provided mixed results for the Giallorossi. Roma drew 1–1 away at Fenerbahçe in their opening fixture, with Bryan Cristante's powerful first-half strike giving them the lead before defensive lapses allowed an equaliser early in the second period. Roma dominated possession and controlled the opening 45 minutes, but a passive transition after the break saw them concede almost immediately and lose momentum. Though Fenerbahçe created the most dangerous opportunities after drawing level—including a shot that struck the woodwork—Roma failed to translate their territorial superiority into clear chances. The result leaves Roma with their first point, though the performance revealed shortcomings in intensity and quality that will need addressing as they progress through the competition.

Roma eye Endrick for January, with Frosinone's Kvernadze as Plan B

Roma are reportedly looking to add another attacking player in the winter transfer window, with Endrick at the top of their list, according to TMW. Sporting director D'Amico continues to work on a move for the Brazilian from Real Madrid, but Mourinho has no intention of letting him go. Roma's focus, however, is currently on the pitch under Gasperini as the club goes through one of the most intense spells of the season. As an alternative, Roma are considering Kvernadze, a 2003-born forward at Frosinone who has scored 5 goals across Serie A and the Coppa Italia so far. Frosinone value the player highly, and convincing president Stirpe could require between 20 and 25 million euros. Foreign profiles including Gomes, Leweling and Gittens also remain in the running. In the meantime, the club's attention is rightly turned to Cagliari.

Gollini saves from Politano, then hugs him in Napoli-Roma

Roma goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini produced a key save against former team-mate Matteo Politano during Napoli-Roma, and the two shared a light-hearted moment afterwards. In the 57th minute at the Maradona, with Napoli leading 2-0, Politano took advantage of an error by Wesley to go one-on-one with Gollini and try to seal the match. Napoli's number 21, however, had not reckoned with the effective rush off his line by the Roma keeper, who closed down the angle. The two were team-mates at Napoli in the 2023-24 season, and the exchange showed that their friendship runs deeper than the 90 minutes. Roma were beaten 2-0 at the time of the incident, with Wesley's mistake proving costly in the build-up. According to DAZN, which published the clip on Instagram, Gollini approached his friend after the save and embraced him, almost as a consolation, before giving him a friendly nudge towards the centre of the pitch.

Wesley's wife announces separation, accusing him of repeated infidelity

Amanda Martins, wife of Roma full-back Wesley, has announced their separation in a video posted to her Instagram profile, making serious accusations against him and confirming the end of their relationship. Wesley is one of Roma's standout performers this season, and the matter has drawn wide attention on social media in recent hours. Amanda said she decided to speak out "given all the rumours that are circulating", describing repeated infidelity and a lack of respect. She said: "He doesn't owe me anything any more, because today we are separated. And that doesn't make much difference, because even when he had duties towards me, he still disrespected me. He didn't cheat on me once, not twice, not three times, but a great many times. And not with one woman, nor two, but with many, including prostitutes. And I know these things because I saw them." She went on to describe her suffering: "I have already cried all the tears I had. I gave him a great many opportunities to confess, but he kept lying. He never asked for forgiveness: he thinks everything he has done is normal." Her accusations also extend to her pregnancy: "Even during the pregnancy I was betrayed and abandoned. I never made any of these things public. I forgave, I tried to build a family, but it didn't work. When a person is like that, they don't change." Finally, Amanda described incidents in bars and restaurants and their psychological toll: "I am telling you only a very small part. I had reached the point where I no longer felt comfortable even leaving the house. In restaurants he would ask the waitress for her number, or other girls waiting for the bathroom. When he drinks he has no self-control. I began suffering from anxiety attacks, something that had never happened to me before. At times I blamed myself. But when a man is no good, it doesn't matter."

Wesley's wife announces separation and accuses him of repeated infidelity

Amanda Martins, wife of Roma winger Wesley, has announced the end of their marriage in a lengthy and harsh statement posted on her Instagram profile, accusing the Brazilian of repeated infidelity. The allegations have quickly spread across Italian and Brazilian media and represent a painful private storm for the Giallorossi player. In her post, Martins says she discovered numerous betrayals, including during her pregnancy, and explains why she chose to make public a matter that had until now remained private. She said she decided to speak after numerous rumours circulated on social media. The statement describes a story filled with bitterness, and she claims the infidelities involved other people, with prostitutes reportedly among those involved. Martins also says she discovered the situation through the footballer's phone, where she claims to have found photographs and videos. These are accusations made by his wife, and their truthfulness has not been independently verified. Martins said: "I never thought I would end up here, on my Instagram, opening up about a very important part of my life, which was my marriage." She continued: "He no longer owes me anything, because today we are separated. And that doesn't make much difference, because even when he had duties towards me, he still disrespected me." On the pregnancy, she said: "I was betrayed and abandoned even during my pregnancy." She explained that she initially chose to forgive and try to rebuild the relationship: "I accepted everything in silence, I forgave, I really tried to build a family, to have a solid marriage. But it didn't work." She also described the emotional toll, saying she went through moments of deep suffering and began suffering from anxiety attacks. She said she gave her husband many chances to clarify the situation without receiving the answers she sought. "I have already cried all the tears I had to cry," she said, describing the shock she felt after her discoveries. Wesley has not publicly responded to the new accusations. The separation announced on social media marks a new chapter in the personal life of the Roma full-back.
