After leaving Flamengo, Gerson is getting closer to a return to Brazilian football. This is because the former midfielder of the "Mais Querido" has accepted Palmeiras' offer and may choose to leave Zenit (RUS).
According to journalist Cosme Rímoli from the R7 portal of Record, Gerson accepted the offer to play for Palmeiras and return to Brazilian football. Now, it is up to the São Paulo team to reach an agreement with Zenit to finalize the negotiation.
Currently, Zenit is asking for 25 million euros (R$ 157 million at the current exchange rate) to release Gerson to Palmeiras. It is worth remembering that the amount requested is the same that the Russian club paid to Flamengo in the middle of the year to sign the player.
Gerson joined Zenit in the middle of the year, when he signed with the team during the June transfer window. However, the former Flamengo player has not been successful at the club and has played in only nine games, without participating in any goals.
The Flamengo, former team of Gerson, is set to face Palmeiras. The team led by Filipe Luís will compete against the São Paulo team on Sunday (19th) at 4 PM (Brasília time), in a match valid for the 29th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro.
