Wesley Lopes Beltrame (born 24 June 1987), simply known as Wesley, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for CRB as a central or defensive midfielder.
Club career[]
Santos[]
Wesley began his career in 2006 with Santos, and was promoted to the senior side in 2007 where he played four games. In 2008, Santos sold 25% economic rights of numbers of footballer to DIS Esporte, including Wesley.[1][2] Also in 2008, he started to get more playing time making 20 league appearances and 9 Copa Libertadores appearances.
On 26 March 2009, Wesley joined Atlético Paranaense on loan until the end of 2009 season.[3] In total, he played 33 matches scoring 2 goals.
In 2010, Wesley returned to Santos where he became a key player in the 2010 Campeonato Paulista and 2010 Copa do Brasil championship which team won, mostly in the right back position.[citation needed] On 22 May 2010, Wesley scored his first goal for Santos in a 2–1 win over Goianiense. His performances at Santos attracted interest from European clubs such as Portuguese side Benfica and German side Werder Bremen[citation needed]
Werder Bremen[]
In summer 2010, Wesley signed a four-year contract with Werder Bremen for a reported transfer fee of €7.5 million.[4] Santos received R$ 7.735 million for its 35% economic rights[5] with a remaining 40% of economic rights being held by unknown parties.[citation needed] On 11 September 2010, he made his debut in a Werder Bremen shirt in a 0–0 draw against Bayern Munich.[6] On 23 October 2010, he scored his first goal for the club in a 4–1 win over Borussia Mönchengladbach.[7] Wesley was kept out of action by an injury sustained in a match against Schalke 04 on 20 November 2010[8] before making his return on 7 March 2011 in a match against Borussia Mönchengladbach. On 20 August 2011, he scored his second goal for the club in a 5–3 win over SC Freiburg.[9] He made a total of 26 league matches scoring 2 goals at Werder Bremen.[4]
Palmeiras[]
On 8 March 2012, Wesley returned to Brazil for Palmeiras on a three-year contract for an estimated €6 million (£5 million) transfer fee.[10][11] During the negotiations, the Brazilian club came to make a campaign to collect money through the crowd to hire the player, since it lacked the 2 million to pay the first installment of the player to the Germans. An investor willing to pay the first installment, however, allowed for the completion of the negotiations.[12] Wesley made his debut for the club in a 1–0 loss against Paulista on 29 March 2012. On 8 April 2012, he suffered a knee ligament injury in a 3–1 loss against Guarani[13] which kept him out of action for the rest of the season with an expected return in 2013.[14]
São Paulo[]
On 1 March 2015, Wesley joined São Paulo signing a contract running until 2018.[15]
International career[]
Wesley made his début for the Brazilian national team on 7 October 2010, as a substitute in a 3–0 friendly win over Iran played at the Zayed Sports City Stadium in Abu Dhabi.[16]
