Inter's chase for Wesley collides with Roma's firm refusal

Inter Milan are keen on signing Brazilian winger Wesley, but Roma have refused to open any talks on a move. Wesley is currently undergoing rehabilitation after an injury that kept him out of the World Cup for Brazil, and he recorded five Serie A goals in his debut season, a record for a 2003‑born player. The winger is a key figure for Roma under coach Gian Piero Gasperini, who has overseen his development in the opposition’s goal. His five‑goal tally in the first Serie A campaign highlights his impact despite his young age. Inter’s interest follows a recent disappointment after a deal with Atalanta for Palestra fell through. The club now seeks a winger to fill the void left by Dumfries.

Can Ancelotti become the first Italian to lift the World Cup with Brazil?

Roma have already turned down Chelsea’s interest in Wesley and are unlikely to consider a transfer. Within the Giallorossi, Wesley is described as the least expendable player on the altar of capital gains. Inter have therefore entered an in‑depth evaluation phase to avoid any transfer errors. The situation underscores the complexity of securing a replacement winger for the Nerazzurri.
