Currently at Zenit (RUS), the midfielder Gerson was speculated for a possible return to Brazilian football, being linked to Palmeiras. His teammate at the Russian team, Luiz Henrique broke the silence about the situation and highlighted the quality of the former Flamengo player.

— Gerson arrived at Zenit and got injured right at the beginning. Russian football is a bit tough, it's not easy. But Gerson is doing very well, with a calm mind —, began the striker and former Flamengo teammate at Zenit.

"When he comes back, he will match with the same football he showed at Flamengo. He is a talented, promising boy, and I know he will stand out at Zenit", said Luiz Henrique, in an interview with 'TNT Sports', this Wednesday (08).

WHAT IS THE CONTEXT?

According to journalist Felippe Facincani, Gerson would have talked to Palmeiras about a possible return to Brazil. At the moment, the team from São Paulo is in initial negotiations to try to sign the former Flamengo player, who is not participating in the dispute.

WHAT IS GERSON'S SITUATION?

Zenit paid 25 million euros (R$ 160 million at the time) to Flamengo, in the middle of the year, to sign Gerson. Thus, the athlete became one of the biggest sales in the history of Mais Querido.
