18-year-old midfielder Gérson can wear the Fluminense shirt again, and much sooner than expected.
With no room for non-EU players in their squad, AS Roma had initially worked out two options for the youngster; leave him to train for six months, and then loan him out to a smaller club in Italy. But now, the club are considering sending Gérson on loan to Fluminense until the middle of the year, when the European season ends. According to Globo Esporte, Gérson and his father, Marcão, did not accept the possibilities put forward by Roma. Bought for €17 million, the midfielder did not like the idea of being transferred to another club, possibly Frosinone. And to stay six months without playing can also cost him a place in the national team squad taking part in the Olympic Games in Rio. In order to avoid problems, Roma have decided to listen to the player’s will. Club president Peter Siemsen directly participates in the negotiations, and was in Rome last week. The expectation in Fluminense is that the situation would be defined by the beginning of February. The Brazilian club would only have to pay half of Gérson’s salary.
