Premier League club Brentford is reportedly in discussions to acquire the services of Sao Paulo’s left-back, Welington, in a potential transfer deal that could materialize in the coming days. Brentford has taken the initiative to reach out to Welington’s agent, Robson Ferreira, in order to initiate negotiations with Sao Paulo. This move by Brentford highlights their interest in bolstering their squad with the talented 22-year-old left-back. Notably, CSKA Moscow has also expressed an interest in acquiring Welington’s services, indicating his growing reputation in the world of football.

During the current season, Welington has demonstrated his capabilities by making 18 appearances for Sao Paulo’s first team across various competitions. His consistent performance has earned him a regular spot in the starting lineup under the guidance of manager Dorival Junior. As of now, Brentford holds the ninth position in the Premier League standings, which features a total of 20 teams. The club has secured a win and two draws from their initial three matches of the season, and the potential addition of Welington could further enhance their squad’s depth and capabilities.
