Midfielder is expected to leave Brazilian football in the coming days after Zenit's multi-million dollar investment; Russian club will pay 25 million euros
|
Gerson's second stint at Flamengo is about to end. According to information from journalist Venê Casagrande, Zenit notified the Flamengo board of directors about the decision to pay the midfielder's termination fee , estimated at 25 million euros — the equivalent of around R$160 million at the current exchange rate.
The amount will be enough to activate the clause that releases the athlete immediately. The expectation is that the player will travel today in a plane chartered by the Russian club itself , in order to undergo medical examinations and sign a contract valid for five seasons.
AL NASSR TRIED TO INTERFERE IN THE NEGOTIATION
Even though talks between Zenit and Gerson are already advanced, Al Nassr recently entered the dispute. The Saudi club, led by Jorge Jesus — former coach of Mais Querido —, showed interest in the midfielder and tried to attract the player with a higher salary proposal than the one offered by the Russian team.
Negotiations with the Saudis, however, began just a week ago, right after the Rio de Janeiro club's victory over Chelsea. So far, Zenit remains in the lead, having submitted a formal proposal with the full amount of the fine stipulated in the contract.
Gerson has had two successful seasons with the red-and-black jersey. The first stint was between 2019 and 2021, during which time he stood out as a regular starter in the midfield. The second stint began in 2023 and is set to end in 2025. In total, the defensive midfielder has played 250 matches, scored 19 goals and provided 35 assists. In addition to his impressive numbers, he has won 12 titles, including:
2 Brazilian Championships (2019 and 2020)
1 Copa Libertadores de America (2019)
1 Brazilian Cup (2024)
3 Brazilian Super Cups (2020, 2021 and 2025)
With a balanced history in official clashes, the teams will star in a decisive European classic this Tuesday, at 4 pm, at Hard Rock Stadium

Real Madrid face Juventus on Tuesday afternoon (10), at 4 pm (Brasília time) , in a match valid for the round of 16 of the 2025 Club World Cup. The match takes place at the Hard Rock Stadium, in Miami, in the United States. The match will be broadcast live on Globo, Globoplay and sportv, in addition to having real-time coverage on ge.
Whoever advances in the duel between the Spanish and Italian giants will face the winner of the match between Borussia Dortmund and Monterrey in the quarter-finals, who play later on Tuesday at 10pm . Both games will be part of the decisive phase of the tournament, which for the first time has adopted a new format with more clubs.
Considered by many analysts to be the greatest European derby ever played in a Club World Cup, the duel brings together the greatest champions of their countries: Real Madrid has 36 national titles, the same number as Juventus in Italy. In international tournaments, Real has collected nine world titles, while Juve has two.
In official head-to-head matches, the teams have faced each other 21 times. Real Madrid have won 10 matches, compared to Juventus' nine , and have drawn two. The Spanish team has scored 29 goals, while the Italian team has scored 25 times. Despite the historical balance, the last three clashes have taken place on North American soil as friendlies. Real Madrid have won two, but Juventus came out on top in the most recent , with a 3-1 victory in August 2023.
Juventus secured their place in the knockout stages by finishing second in Group G with six points. Real Madrid finished the group stage top of Group H with seven points, giving them the theoretical advantage in the draw, although the balance between the opponents suggests an unpredictable duel.
The 29-year-old striker is attracting interest from Qatari football, but is awaiting the transfer window and is betting on the player's good readaptation
|
Striker Michael recently entered the radar of Al-Duhail, a traditional Qatari football team . The Arab club is evaluating the player and may present an official offer during the next transfer window , which will open on July 10. So far, Flamengo has not received any offers, but is closely monitoring the market movement.
According to information from the "Flazoeiro" channel, Michael's name is among those being monitored by Al-Duhail. Internally, Flamengo does not intend to hinder any eventual negotiation, as long as the terms are favorable to the club. The expectation is that any decision will only occur after the team participates in the Club World Cup , which could be decisive for the player's value.
Michael joined the red-black squad for free in mid-2024, but is still looking to consolidate his career at the club. Recurrent injuries and difficulties adapting have affected his performance , despite the confidence shown by coach Filipe Luís. Part of the fans, however, still do not see the striker as a key player in the starting lineup.
The player, who plays on the wings, is known for his fast and dribbling style of play. Despite this, his consistency has been compromised by physical problems. With a current contract, he remains an option in the squad while the football department evaluates market movements.
Michael's possible departure could open up space for signings in the offensive sector. Flamengo's board is already monitoring the market in search of at least two wing players , with agility and good performance in reduced spaces — characteristics valued in the team's scheme.
At the beginning of June, talks between Michael and Al-Duhail were well underway. The player had reportedly reached a verbal agreement with representatives of the Arab club , but the official proposal was never formalized.
