Wesley commits to Roma, rejects Chelsea offer
Wesley has turned down approaches from Chelsea and Manchester City, choosing to remain at Roma and pursue Champions League football in the capital. The Brazilian defender received multiple Premier League proposals in recent days, but rejected them to stay with the Giallorossi. Chelsea came closest before pivoting to alternative targets, but Wesley made clear his intention to continue at the Olimpico. Wesley is currently on holiday in Greece while maintaining his fitness regimen with his personal physiotherapist Kaine Escobar and Roma's Claudio Patti. He is targeting full availability for Roma's squad assembly on 13 July as he works to recover from an adductor injury. Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini has requested five signings from the club, and while Wesley stays, Roma are actively pursuing reinforcements on the flanks. Atletico Madrid's Ruggeri and Molina are primary targets; Ruggeri may become available following Atletico's signing of Grimaldo, which could allow the Spanish defender to move on. If Ruggeri joins, Wesley would shift to the right flank, with Molina providing backup depth on that side. Roma have cooled interest in Dodô.
