Gerson speaks out after Flamengo’s Libertadores triumph over Palmeiras | OneFootball

What Did Gerson Say After Flamengo's Title?

Gerson decided to leave Flamengo mid-year to play for Zenit (RUS). Despite this, the midfielder did not fail to congratulate the Most Beloved this Sunday (30) after the Libertadores title over Palmeiras by 1-0.

“Congratulations, Flamengo and guys! You deserve it so much!”, said Gerson, in an Instagram story. It is worth remembering that the athlete played with the Sacred Mantle in the current edition of the Libertadores. However, the athlete only played in the group stage.

How Much Did Flamengo Receive for Gerson's Sale?

Zenit paid Flamengo the release clause amount for Gerson. The sum is 25 million euros, approximately R$ 160 million at the current exchange rate. Thus, this is the amount that the Most Beloved received for selling the number 8 to the Russian team.

An important point is that Flamengo did not agree to sell Gerson in installments. In other words, Zenit could not pay the release clause amount in more than one installment. Therefore, the Rubro-Negro received the amount of R$ 160 million upfront.

What Was Gerson's Last Match for Flamengo?

Gerson played with Flamengo's jersey in the Club World Cup and scored once. The number 8's goal happened against Bayern Munich (GER), in the round of 16 of the intercontinental competition. The match against the German team was the athlete's last with the Sacred Mantle.
