Wesley leaves Bremen for Palmeiras
Werder Bremen have announced the sale of midfielder Wesley to Brazilian club Palmeiras with immediate effect.
The Brazilian failed to claim a regular berth in the Bundesliga club's starting XI, making just 26 appearances since arriving from Santos in 2010.
He has recently been keeping himself fit with Palmeiras after becoming surplus to requirements in Bremen, who have now reached a formal agreement with the Brazilian club for the player to make a permanent transfer back to his home country.
"After reaching an agreement with Palmeiras a while ago, the bank guarantees which were necessary to assure the transfer have now arrived," said Bremen's director of sport Klaus Allofs.
"Even if the whole procedure has dragged on a little, we were always confident that it would go through since we remained in close contact with the Palmeiras management and all agreements and dates were adhered to."
Wesley scored only two goals during a troubled time in Germany.
