Mini bio
Finding his way back.
Before Flamengo, Wesley faced unsuccessful trials and spells at Figueirense and Tubarão. During the pandemic he stepped away from football and worked as a parking attendant at the restaurant where his mother and sister worked. His sister encouraged him to try again. A return to Tubarão and a video shared by his agent helped bring a Flamengo opportunity in 2021.
Growing at Flamengo.
Wesley’s progress was gradual. The CBF describes criticism in 2023 followed by stronger performances and a Copa do Brasil title in 2024. By his departure in July 2025, Flamengo recorded 139 first-team appearances and four goals. He had also made his senior Brazil debut that March.
A new chapter in Rome.
Roma signed Wesley in July 2025, and he scored the winner against Bologna on his league debut. By March 2026 he was discussing how Gian Piero Gasperini had used him on both flanks, and how he was learning to balance attacking runs with defensive responsibility.
