Zenit make move on Gerson’s future amid talks with Palmeiras | OneFootball

Zenit (RUS) demands 25 million euros (R$ 156 million at the current exchange rate) to sell Gerson

Palmeiras is attempting to sign midfielder Gerson, former Flamengo player, who is currently with Zenit (RUS) but has had few opportunities. Last Sunday (19), the former Flamengo player entered in the final minutes and returned to the field during the victory over Sochi (RUS).

According to information from ‘ESPN Brasil’, the atmosphere behind the scenes at Zenit has improved, and the management believes the situation is beginning to stabilize internally. Thus, this may complicate a future negotiation of Gerson with Palmeiras.

WHAT IS GERSON'S SITUATION?

Currently, Gerson has had few opportunities at Zenit, having played in only seven matches since his arrival in the last transfer window. The former Flamengo midfielder has not participated in any goals yet.

Last Sunday (19), Gerson entered at the 42nd minute of the second half when the score was already 3-0 for Zenit against Sochi. The former Flamengo player touched the ball seven times, with a 71% success rate. Additionally, he won an aerial duel.

HOW MUCH DOES ZENIT WANT?

Despite having recently signed Gerson, Zenit has not closed the door on a departure for the former Flamengo player. To negotiate with Palmeiras, the Russians demanded the same 25 million euros (R$ 156 million at the current exchange rate).

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

The Flamengo, former club of Gerson, remains focused on the final stretch of the season. The Flamengo team faces Racing (ARG) this Wednesday (22), at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, in the first leg of the semifinals of the Copa Libertadores.
