Fluminense set to earn over R$ 4.5 million from Gerson's move to Cruzeiro | OneFootball

Fluminense will benefit financially from the signing of Gerson by Cruzeiro. The midfielder, who was at Zenit in Russia, has agreed to transfer to the Minas Gerais club, and the Tricolor das Laranjeiras will be entitled to a share of the transaction value through FIFA's solidarity mechanism.

As the player's training club, Fluminense receives a percentage of every international transfer involving Gerson throughout his career. According to FIFA rules, clubs responsible for a player's development between the ages of 12 and 23 are entitled to a percentage ranging from 0.25% to 5%, depending on the time the player spent at each team.

Gerson joined Fluminense at the age of 7 and was transferred to Roma in Italy at 18. For this training period, the Tricolor is entitled to a fixed 2.7% of the value of each international transfer of the player until the end of his professional career.

Cruzeiro acquired Gerson for 27 million euros, approximately R$ 169 million, plus an additional three million euros in bonuses, which amounts to about R$ 18 million. Considering only the fixed value of the transaction, Fluminense will receive around R$ 4.56 million, according to the current exchange rate.

This amount represents another important financial gain for the club, reinforcing the importance of Xerém and the development of athletes as a strategic asset for Fluminense.
