Major defensive reinforcement! Manchester United target Roma's Brazilian talent
The Red Devils are seriously determined to overhaul and strengthen the team's defensive line during the upcoming transfer windows.
Details: According to Turkish football insider Ekrem Konur, Manchester United are closely monitoring Roma right-back Wesley França and view the 23-year-old Brazilian as a priority target to bolster the flank.
The Red Devils' scouts have drawn up an impressive list of candidates for the defensive unit. Alongside the Roma full-back, the club's hierarchy are also considering four more representatives of the English top flight: Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite, Nottingham Forest's Murillo, Crystal Palace's Tyrick Mitchell and Newcastle's Lewis Hall.
However, Manchester United face stiff competition for the Brazilian. Atlético Madrid and Arsenal are also actively pursuing the Roma defender and are closely exploring the possibility of completing a deal.
It is worth noting that Wesley joined Roma from Flamengo in the summer of 2025 for €25 million and immediately became a key player in the starting XI. The Brazilian's current contract with the Giallorossi runs until the summer of 2030, while the Transfermarkt statistics portal values his market worth at €40 million.
