Gerson’s father: Footballers are products after Cruzeiro signing | OneFootball

Cruzeiro is expected to announce Gerson in the coming days

The Cruzeiro is close to finalizing the signing of midfielder Gerson, former Flamengo player, who currently plays for Zenit (RUS). After lengthy negotiations, Marcão, the athlete's father and agent, commented on the agreement and mentioned the term “player is a product.”

— Gerson and I have a relationship of trust, almost like father and son. I put myself on the professional side, leave the father side aside, and act as an employee of Gerson. I'm here, along with my team, for this: to try to keep him calm — said Marcão, this Thursday (08).

— If it's to be resolved, we will resolve it. The people at Zenit (RUS) are good people and businessmen, and the football player is the product. We have to understand from club to club. If they decide, we will do what needs to be done, especially since Gerson is an employee of Zenit. And if Zenit understands that it's better to make the deal and that it's good for everyone, we will do it — he concluded.

HOW IS THE NEGOTIATION WITH CRUZEIRO?

The Cruzeiro is very close to announcing the signing of midfielder Gerson, former Flamengo player. Thus, the team from Minas Gerais will pay 27 million euros (R$ 176 million at the current exchange rate), plus three million euros in bonuses (R$ 18 million).

HOW IS GERSON'S CAREER?

Thus, Gerson is trying to return to Brazilian football after an unremarkable stint in Russian football. This is because the midfielder was transferred to Zenit but failed to establish himself, playing in few games and scoring only one goal.
