Bahia in dispute

Striker Wesley is currently in the Palmeiras reserve and could be negotiated for the 2023 season. According to journalist Jorge Nicola, the City group also want to appoint the player to boost Bahia next year.

“I already expect Wesley, the Palmeiras striker, to be one of the targets of the City group. Until then, it was just speculation and people added the fact that Wesley was a fan of Bahia. Before he played for Palmeiras, Jorge Nicola said, on his YouTube channel, last month, He previously declared himself a fan of the band Bahia.

The journalist also reported that “all close friends know that Wesley is a die-hard fan of Bahia” and that Grupo City had already tried to sign a striker for New York City, in the US, and Troy in France.

“Now, someone has assured me that Wesley is indeed one of Citigroup’s targets for next season. I think Wesley can make a lot of noise in Bahia, and it would be a good name to start with,” concluded Nicolas.
