According to Globo Esporte, OM would have improved their offer for the transfer of Gerson (24) but Real Madrid would have joined the ranks of Flamengo midfielder, whose transfer would be negotiated around 25 million euros.

OM continue to advance their pawns to try to recruit Gerson (24), midfielder of Flamengo. According to Globo Esporte, the French club have formulated a new proposal that would approach the expectations of the club and the player. The leaders would thus have presented a five-year contract with the amount of the non-taxable salary to the father and representative of Gerson, Marcao. They are also said to have committed to release the player to compete in the Olympics with Brazil this summer. Flamengo would have been receptive to the Marseille arguments.

The amount of a transfer would amount to 25 million euros, plus five million euros varying according to the individual performances of Gerson and collective OM, as a European qualification. The Rio club could benefit from a 20% resale clause. For Globo Esporte, an agreement could be reached soon. But the game is not yet won.

Gerson’s father expected in Madrid this week

Because other Brazilian media report the interest of a competitor of weight on the file: Real Madrid. According to ESPN Brasil, the Merengues recently invited themselves into the dance. Gerson’s father was even due to reach the Spanish capital but his arrival was twice delayed due to a passport problem. He could finally go there on Thursday to discuss with Madrid leaders, who are looking to unlock liquidity through the sale of players.

The entry of Real on this file could complicate Marseille business. On Saturday, the vice-president of Flamengo, Marco Braz, had also been very cautious about the progress of the negotiations after the title won by his team in the Rio championship. « In France, they can say what they want, we will still analyze the situation, he said. There is still nothing. Today we will celebrate the treble in the Rio championship. »

Transferred at a very young age to Roma in 2016, Gerson has shone since his return to Brazil in 2019, as a very active midfielder. OM has been active for several weeks to try to recruit him. Jorge Sampaoli, coach, and Frank McCourt, owner of the club, have discussed this potential transfer with the outcome still uncertain.
