The current champion of England, “Manchester City,” continues its strategy of attracting young and promising players to the team during the summer transfer window. This time, the club has focused on talented right-back Uesli, who plays for Brazil's “Flamengo.”
Candidate in the spotlight — “City” choice
According to Brazil's Coluna do Fla publication, several major European clubs have shown serious interest in the 21-year-old defender. However, Uesli has decided to direct his choice towards “Manchester City.” This decision indicates that the club has been providing opportunities for young players in recent years and offers an excellent platform for development under Pep Guardiola.
Defender, yet an attacker against rival attacks
This season, Uesli has played in 21 matches for “Flamengo,” successfully fulfilling his defensive duties while also demonstrating that he can contribute in attack with 1 goal and 2 assists. The versatility of wing defenders is crucial for teams in modern football, and Uesli clearly exhibits this quality.
National team debut — step by step upwards
This March, he made his debut on the field for the Brazil national team. This event marked an important milestone in the player's global recognition. Following his debut in the national team, interest from European giants has sharply increased.
From the Zamin.uz editorial:
This transfer by “Manchester City” once again proves the club's confidence in its strategic plans, especially in building a young squad based on structural renewal and football philosophy. For talented youngsters like Uesli, “City” under Guardiola is not only a foundation for new championships but also a solid base for personal growth.
