Gerson and Marcão sued over alleged unpaid loan, Flamengo sue player | OneFootball

Gabriela Maria Antunes Alves claims to have lent R$ 200,000 to the midfielder and to Marcão

Gerson and his father, Marcão, are the targets of a lawsuit filed by Gabriela Maria Antunes Alves. The woman claims to have lent R$ 200,000 to the midfielder and the businessman, under a contract of 20 monthly installments. As such, the case has been before the Rio de Janeiro Court of Justice since August 28. The information comes from ‘Metrópoles’.

What does the plaintiff in the case against Gerson and Marcão say?

According to the plaintiff, only the first two loan installments were actually paid. Therefore, Gerson and Marcão allegedly failed to keep up with the payments immediately after the agreement. As a result, Gabriela decided to turn to the courts to try to recover the amount lent to the pair.

In the lawsuit, the woman is seeking R$ 300,000 from Gerson and his father, an amount higher than the original sum. In addition, Gabriela is asking for the midfielder’s salary to be frozen as a way to guarantee payment of the debt. Therefore, the request also targets any amounts Marcão may be due from other football-related sources, including Cruzeiro.

In this way, the plaintiff seeks to secure payment of the claimed amount through different financial channels. However, it is now up to the Rio de Janeiro courts to assess the feasibility of the freezes requested by Gabriela. Even so, the case is still in its early stages at the Court of Justice.

Flamengo is also suing Gerson and Marcão

It is worth noting that this is not the only legal case involving Gerson and his father. After all, Flamengo also has an open lawsuit against the midfielder and the businessman. The reason for the Rubro-Negro’s case is the breach of contract before the agreed deadline. As such, Fla is seeking around R$ 42.7 million for the termination of its deal with the midfielder.

Marcão, however, accuses the club’s board of rigging the lawsuit filed by Mais Querido. In this way, the businessman denies that the company received R$ 42 million in advance in a previous negotiation. However, Flamengo is maintaining the claim and continues the case through the appropriate legal channels.

How did Gerson leave Flamengo?

Gerson left Flamengo in July 2025, after Zenit (RUS) paid the midfielder’s release clause, shelling out 25 million euros (around R$ 160 million at the time). At the time, the player was Fla’s main star, wearing the captain’s armband. Even so, ‘Coringa’ decided to accept the Russians’ offer, which ‘shocked’ the Rubro-Negro fans.

However, according to Gerson’s defense, the midfielder signed the contract renewal with Flamengo without noticing the drastic reduction in the release clause. Before the extension, the Rubro-Negro had contractual protection of 200 million euros (R$ 1.1 billion).
