Wesley Recovering as Roma and Gasperini Lock Down Rising Star Amid Inter Interest

Wesley is currently undergoing rehabilitation as he works to recover from the injury that ruled him out of Brazil’s World Cup squad. The Brazilian winger remains a key figure in Gian Piero Gasperini’s plans at Roma, with the coach having played a crucial role in his development, particularly in advanced areas of the pitch close to goal.

The 2003-born winger enjoyed a breakthrough campaign in Serie A, scoring five goals in his first season in Italy’s top flight — a record return for the young attacker. His performances have not gone unnoticed, with several top clubs reportedly monitoring his progress, including Inter, who are searching for a dynamic wide player after missing out on other targets such as Palestra, who is now bound for Chelsea.

As La Gazzetta dello Sport reports, Wesley perfectly fits Inter’s ideal profile: a young, athletic winger capable of both attacking and defensive contributions, with strong dribbling skills and the ability to change games one-on-one. However, Inter have never progressed beyond initial interest, partly because Gasperini considers the Brazilian an untouchable part of Roma’s project, with the club firmly closing the door on any potential departure.
