FC Barcelona already knows how much their 'hidden gem' for the right-back position costs

The right-back 'casting' of FC Barcelona is at a 'boiling point'. The blue and garnet entity aims to strengthen the position during the summer market because Hansi Flick considers it necessary to bring in a reliable player to act as a backup for Jules Koundé, who has practically played everything this season.

For this reason, the names of players like Marc Pubill, Daniel Muñoz, and Andrei Ratiu have been circulating around Spotify Camp Nou in recent weeks, although a new candidate is gaining traction in the blue and garnet offices. According to 'TEAMtalk', the culés have their sights set on Wesley, a defender who at 21 years old has established himself as one of the revelations of Flamengo.

The player has become an undisputed starter at 'Mengao', standing out in the 2023-24 season, where he recorded two assists in 51 matches (3,436'). In fact, in the past, the Catalan squad tried to acquire his services to incorporate him into Barça Atlètic on loan, but negotiations did not progress due to the financial demands imposed by the cariocas.

The price that Barça will have to pay for Wesley

Now, back under the 1:1 rule and with the player gaining more experience on the big stages, the situation is different. The blaugrana are seriously analyzing his signing next summer, but it would not be a cheap operation, as Flamengo would demand an amount exceeding 35 million euros to part with one of their biggest 'jewels'.

Moreover, Liverpool is also on his trail, considering him as a possible replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold, whose future may lie at Real Madrid, in the right-back position, although the player would prefer the blue and garnet offer. However, the demands of 'Mengao' could thwart the transfer, so if they pursue his signing, Barça will have to face tough negotiations with the Brazilian club.
