Palmeiras are interested in Welington and have been assessing him as a potential market opportunity, considering factors such as cost, adaptation, and his current role in England. Welington's contract at Southampton expires on June 30th, which means there is no transfer fee to negotiate. He has had limited playing time this season because of injuries and competition from Ryan Manning.

Palmeiras, Flamengo, and Internacional are interested in signing Southampton's 25-year-old Brazilian defender Welington. The left-back has received limited playing time, making only 17 Championship appearances this season due to the strong performances of Ryan Manning. Welington, who developed at São Paulo, joined Southampton on a free transfer in January 2025 on a contract that runs until at least 2027 with an option for an additional year. A transfer could happen before his contract is finished. The defender has one cap for the Brazil U23 team and his current market value is €3.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
