Flamengo accuses Gerson of breaching contract. The club presents evidence that the player had already signed with Zenit before terminating the contract.
What happened?
Gerson terminated the contract with Flamengo in July 2025, claiming that the club had not fulfilled its contractual obligations. However, Flamengo presented evidence that the player had already signed with Zenit before terminating the contract.
Why is this important for Flamengo?
The early termination of Gerson's contract may be costly for the player and FGM. Flamengo demands $42.75 million in damages for the early termination.
What comes next?
The process is expected to continue in the Rio de Janeiro Court. Flamengo attached to the process Whatsapp conversations between Marcão, Gerson's father, and José Boto, the club's football director, trying to resolve the impasse of the fine.
