Ex-Flamengo star Gerson offered to Palmeiras, club makes surprise move | OneFootball

Gerson has been at Zenit (RUS) since July, when he started being linked to Palmeiras

The end of the Brazilian football season suggested that Palmeiras would finally go after Gerson, former Flamengo player and current midfielder for Zenit (RUS). However, the Russians demanded something that discouraged the team presided over by Leila Pereira.

Zenit wants 25 million euros (R$ 159 million) to negotiate Gerson. Therefore, the set price is the reason for Palmeiras’ supposed withdrawal. This information comes from journalist Paulo Vinícius Coelho, known as PVC.

Why is Zenit asking for 25 million euros?

The amount requested by Zenit is the same that the Russian club paid Flamengo in mid-2025. Therefore, it’s possible to say that the Russian team wants to recover the amount invested in the midfielder who has played little.

How is Gerson doing in Russia?

Since July, the former Flamengo player has played only 12 times for Zenit. Gerson suffered a serious injury and was unable to repeat the performance he had in Brazil. As a result, the midfielder has just one goal, no assists, and two yellow cards.

How is Flamengo doing without Gerson?

Without Gerson, Flamengo won the Brasileirão and the Libertadores. Furthermore, Rubro-Negro and PSG will play this Wednesday (17th) in the World Cup final. The match will take place at 2:00 PM (Brasília time), at the Ahmed bin Ali Stadium, in Doha, Qatar. Therefore, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match through YouTube, the website, and social media. The broadcast, however, is by Globo (open channel), GE TV (YouTube) and Cazé TV (YouTube).
