Gerson to Palmeiras? Fans buzzing after journalist's claim | OneFootball

The Palmeiras boasts a star-studded lineup, but the possibility of the team acquiring another international-level player excites the fans. This Wednesday, many supporters on social media were stirred by a rumor linking Verdão to a possible return of midfielder Gerson.

Interest and Initial Contacts

According to journalist Felippe Facincani, the former Flamengo player is interested in leaving Zenit, Russia, to return to Brazil. Therefore, his staff is reportedly already in contact with Palmeiras.

Gerson built his image as an idol during his time at Flamengo. He won important titles, such as the 2019 Libertadores, in addition to 2 editions of the Brasileirão, 3 Supercopas do Brasil, and 1 Copa do Brasil.

Difficult Time at Zenit

Since leaving Flamengo shortly after the Club World Cup, Gerson has played only 6 matches in Russia, without scoring goals or providing assists. Consequently, he lost his spot in the Brazilian National Team. Therefore, a return to Brazil would also help the athlete to get back on the radar of coach Carlo Ancelotti.

Complex Negotiation

Any team wishing to sign Gerson must keep in mind the obligation to close a complex negotiation. Zenit paid the player's release clause at Flamengo, shelling out 25 million euros.
