Announced very close to a return to Flamengo in recent days, Gerson, deadlocked at Olympique de Marseille, is obviously missing a lot from some of his ex-teammates in Brazil.
This Sunday was a day of celebration for Flamengo as the Mengão players marched through the crowded streets of Rio de Janeiro to celebrate their Copa Libertadores victory against Athletico Paranaense (1-0) a fortnight earlier. The moment chosen by Gabriel Barbosa to send a message to Gerson.

Final negotiations
Both clubs are now in the final phase of negotiations.

All that remains is to reach an agreement on the terms of the transaction. While the South Americans are offering around 9 million euros in fixed part and 4 million in variable, in the form of various bonuses (club results, player performance), OM are seeking to increase the fixed part. While waiting for the outcome, all Flamengo and Gabigol supporters are forced to take their troubles patiently…
