18-year-old midfielder Gérson is returning to Brazilian club Fluminense on loan from AS Roma until the middle of the year.
The Italians do not have any non-EU spots remaining at the moment, and Gérson will play five more months at Fluminense. The negotiation was conducted by club president Peter Siemsen, who went to Italy few weeks ago during the team’s pre-season tour in the United States. As reported by Globo Esporte, the arrival of the player to Rio de Janeiro should be after February 4. With no room for non-EU players in their squad, Roma had initially worked out two options for the youngster; leave him to train for six months, or loan him out to a smaller club in Italy, possibly Frosinone. Gérson, who was bought for €17 million, and his father, Marcão, did not accept what was put forward by Roma. The midfielder did not like the idea of ​​being transferred to another club, and to stay six months without playing can also cost him a place in the national team squad taking part in the Olympic Games. Hence, to avoid problems, Roma decided to listen to the player’s will and sent him back to Brazil.
Roma and Fluminense reached an agreement for Gérson in August last year, but the player couldnt maintain the level of performances after his sale was confirmed.
