Cruzeiro join Palmeiras in race to sign ex-Flamengo star Gerson | OneFootball

Gerson may be included in Cruzeiro's negotiation with Zenit (RUS) for Bruno Alves

The Zenit (RUS) continues to keep an eye on Brazilian football amid the arrival of the January transfer window. Thus, the Russian club is negotiating with Cruzeiro for the signing of defender Bruno Alves and may include Gerson, former Flamengo player, in the deal.

According to information from the portal ‘Mix Vale‘, Zenit has shown formal interest in the 20-year-old defender, whose contract includes a release clause of 100 million euros (R$ 630 million at the current exchange rate). Therefore, to reduce the amount, the Russians may include Gerson, former Flamengo player, in the negotiation.

The inclusion of Gerson would facilitate the agreement for Zenit. This is because the former Flamengo midfielder recently arrived with a salary of R$ 4 million per month. Moreover, he has not been playing frequently and has scored only one goal during this period.

ANOTHER ONE INTERESTED?

Gerson is a target for Palmeiras for a possible return to Brazilian football in the coming months. However, Zenit is unlikely to make the departure of the former Flamengo midfielder easy. The Russian team demands the same 25 million euros (R$ 160 million at the current exchange rate) recently paid.

AND FLAMENGO?

While some clubs continue to keep an eye on the market, Flamengo is focused on the final stretch of the season. O Mais Querido takes the field this Wednesday (29) to face Racing (ARG) in the second match of the Copa Libertadores semifinal.
