Video: Roma fans welcome Wesley as Brazil defender arrives for medical
Several Roma fans welcomed Wesley at Fiumicino Airport as the Brazilian right-back arrived to undergo medical tests and sign his contract with the Giallorossi.
Wesley is ready to join Roma and become the third summer signing in the capital.
The 21-year-old landed at Fiumicino Airport on Sunday morning, receiving a warm welcome from several Giallorossi supporters.
Roma will pay €25m, plus €5m in add-ons, to secure his signature.
Wesley will return to Brazil after completing his move to Roma, as he needs to finalise the documents required for his transfer to Italy. He will only start working with his new club in the coming days.

Wesley comments on Roma transfer
Wesley discussed his move to Roma before taking off from Brazil on Saturday.
“I’m making a dream come true, but at the same time, a piece of my heart is breaking too, because I am leaving,” said the 21-year-old.
“I thank God for what he is doing in my life, I thank the fans, everyone. As I always say in interviews, if it weren’t for the criticism, I wouldn’t be who I am today. I know there is still a long way to go and I must evolve, but it is through dealing with criticism that I learned to turn things around.”
