Gerson's transfer to Zenit, Russia , has been officially completed. The European club paid the 25 million euro (approximately R$ 160 million) release clause, and the midfielder's contract termination has already been published in the Daily Information Bulletin (BID) of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF).
However, the player has not yet made a public statement about his departure from Flamengo, nor has he even said goodbye to his teammates at Ninho do Urubu. The lack of a formal farewell drew attention , especially since he is an athlete who had a remarkable time and won important titles for Mais Querido.
Given the midfielder's silence, Arrascaeta was the first to make a public gesture of farewell. This Saturday (5), Mengão's number 10 used his social media to pay tribute to his former teammate. The post was accompanied by an image of both of them alongside Bruno Henrique, in a relaxed moment.
Arrascaeta to Gerson at Flamengo: "Idol"
" Synonymous with character and professionalism. Our group knows how important you were to our achievements and how much you put this team above all else. You have earned my respect and, without a doubt, you are a great idol ," wrote the Uruguayan.
Gerson 's silence comes amid a climate of tension that has intensified since the beginning of the year, when Marcão, the athlete's father, expressed dissatisfaction with his son's salary. The midfielder's staff considered the salary to be outdated in relation to the market , which led the club to negotiate a contract renewal in 2023, extending the link until 2030.
However, the new deal included a significant reduction in the release clause, which made it easier for Zenit, a club that had previously shown interest, to make an investment. The deal was concluded quickly and without any major public outcry from the player or the club.

The behind-the-scenes battle between Flamengo and Santos for goalkeeper Gabriel Brazão continues to stir up the transfer market. After seeing its first offer rejected in the last transfer window, the Rio de Janeiro club maintains the player as a priority target and is working on a new, more robust offer in January 2026. This information comes from the website 'Moon'.
The deal, publicly confirmed by Brazão himself, promises to be one of the biggest chapters in the national transfer market at the turn of the year. Flamengo's interest will test the club's financial strength against the resistance of its São Paulo rival, who sees the goalkeeper as a key player in their squad.
Gabriel Brazão, 24, is considered one of the most promising goalkeepers in the country . A regular starter for Santos, he stands at 1.92m tall and stands out for his agility, difficult saves, and confident aerial ability. A product of the youth academy at Inter Milan in Italy, Brazão boasts international experience and a unique tactical background.
In the last transfer window, the red-and-black club formalized an offer for the goalkeeper . Santos, however, considered the proposed amount insufficient and promptly rejected the offer. Even so, the Rio de Janeiro club's executives indicate that they will return with full force in January, seeking to exceed the São Paulo club's demands.
Flamengo now turns its attention to goalkeeper Agustín Rossi. A regular starter, Rossi has the coach's full confidence and represents a key player in the Rubro-Negro's sporting project. According to reports, the board is seeking to extend his contract to ensure stability in the position until 2029.

On Tuesday morning (09), Flamengo surprised by announcing an unusual campaign : it asked fans to sign a petition for the Red-Black Nation to be recognized by the UN (United Nations). The initiative quickly resonated among fans and rivals.
Arnaldo Ribeiro on Flamengo's campaign at the UN: "Club arrogance"
One of the critics was journalist Arnaldo Ribeiro, a self-confessed São Paulo fan, who described Flamengo 's action as a gesture of arrogance, trying to place itself above other teams , which ends up pushing people away instead of bringing them closer.
"This idea of feeling bigger than others... Club arrogance. I don't think it's measured solely by fan numbers. I never understand when a popular club takes this kind of initiative, trying to separate itself and become something unique, but not necessarily admired by others. This often ends up driving people apart, not bringing them closer ," he said on BandSports.
With an estimated fan base of over 45 million, Flamengo launched the idea of becoming the world's first "symbolic-cultural nation." The movement features the participation of idols: Zico was named "king" and Adriano "emperor."
"If we were a country, we would have the 36th largest population in the world. We are more than 45 million people united by a flag, a culture, and a feeling that spans generations . Flamengo is not just a club, it is a nation," Zico emphasized.
The fans' response was immediate: in just seven hours, the campaign had already surpassed 100,000 signatures , a number the club had projected to reach over the weekend alone. Interested fans can join the movement by clicking here and help expand the brand.
