Flamengo take Gerson to court, demand over R$42 million | OneFootball

Why is Flamengo demanding more than R$ 42 million from Gerson, now at Cruzeiro?

Gerson broke his contract with Flamengo in the middle of the 2025 season to sign with Zenit (RUS). For this reason, the Most Beloved took legal action against the midfielder and is demanding R$ 42.7 million for breach of contract.

According to information from ESPN, the lawsuit by Flamengo is against Gerson and FGM Sports, the company owned by Marcão, the player’s father. In the midfielder’s previous contract with the Most Beloved, there was a clause stating that if either party broke the contract, they would have to pay the remaining amount.

At the time he left Flamengo to sign with Zenit, the debt was around R$ 40 million. Therefore, the Most Beloved filed the lawsuit and is demanding the millionaire sum from the midfielder.

Is Gerson’s staff confident about winning against Flamengo in court?

Gerson’s staff, however, is calm regarding the situation with Flamengo in court. That’s because the midfielder’s representatives believe the lawsuit is only temporary, since the player has now signed with Cruzeiro.

How much will Cruzeiro pay Zenit (RUS) for Gerson?

Cruzeiro, after lengthy negotiations with Zenit (RUS), agreed to pay 30 million euros (R$ 189 million) to have the midfielder in their squad. 26 million euros (R$ 164 million) will be fixed, and 4 million euros (R$ 25 million) will be tied to performance bonuses.
