Flamengo
Volante is in Rio de Janeiro to sign with the club he loves and fans await announcement
Flamengo fans hope to arrive at the end of the year with a famous gift for Christmas. Midfielder Gerson is negotiating his return to Rubro-Negro after spending a little over a year at Olympique de Marseille. Already in Rio de Janeiro, the midfielder can configure the most expensive signing in the history of the Club, which tries its best to make the transaction cheaper. Amidst the uncertainties of the case, ua message from the player on the internet messed with the heads of flamenguistas🇧🇷
The president of the French club reported this Tuesday (15) that Gerson still belongs to Marseille, something that could change soon. Mengão tries to pay less than 20 million euros, something close to 110 million reais at the current quote. With 20% of the athlete’s rights, Rubro-Negro intends to acquire another 40%🇧🇷 Before an agreement, Gerson took advantage of the Rio de Janeiro team’s birthday to leave a special message on his Twitter account, which reverberated among the fans.
“Congratulations on 127 years of history, Flamengo. An honor and pride to have participated in such winning pages of this trajectory”wrote Gerson.
Many Flamengo fans took the opportunity to endorse calls for the midfielder’s return. Some remembered videos recorded last Sunday (13), when the team celebrated the Libertadores and Copa do Brasil victories. In this ocasion, striker Gabigol insisted on asking for the hiring of Gersonwith whom he was part of the historic team of 2019.
Gerson’s return already provides a debate among football fans about the pieces that Dorival Júnior can use in midfield. In the current season, the defensive midfielders were João Gomes and Thiago Maia, as well as Arturo Vidal as a reserve. Despite the interest of European football in João Gomes, many Flamengo fans defend that Gerson would have a place in the main team regardless of who stays in the team.
