Lazio have missed out on Wesley after Aston Villa clinched a €25m deal for the Club Brugge striker.
Wesley has been linked with Lazio since last summer, and it had been reported that they were trying again for the Brazilian.
However, Het Laaste Nieuws claims Villa will sign the 22-year-old for a club-record fee instead.
The newspaper cites confirmation from his agent that an agreement was found on Wednesday.
The forward broke through in Slovakian football and scored 17 goals for Club Brugge last season.
Villa, for their part, will play in the Premier League next season after winning the EFL Championship playoffs.

EPL might not be the best league in the world but its the most interesting,competitive and most watched league.
Agreed. Very competitive. I respect your opinion, but just the competitive nature of the EPL makes it more interesting and exciting and by extension the best in the world, though the Spanish league has more flair and technicality. Of course this is only my humble opinion.

At one time a couple of years ago, all 20 prem. league teams featured in the list of the top 40 clubs in Europe. Astonishing fact, to say the least.
