Gerson Santos da Silva

[xXKonan]

Fluminense midfielder Gerson (18) has decided to reject the offer from Roma. He will join Barcelona in the coming days. [sport]

This might not be over. but this is sport so who knows really.

More info from sport.

Fluminense player Gerson (18) will join Barcelona on 5-year deal and will play on loan at a Liga team this season. Fee could be 16M. [sport]

Gerson would be perfect for Roma, it would help his Development a lot lets say over us. It wouldn't make any sense for us to buy him and Automatically give him a spot on the first team for him to rot on the bench. Midfield is already stacked as it is and Gerson wouldn't get ahead of Rafinha,Arda,Rakitic,Busi,Masche,Roberto,Iniesta in the pecking order.

Our midfield is not stacked at all. Iniesta is aging and injury prone. Masch is CB, Rafinha RW, Busq DM, Roberto can't pass forward and Arda is not very young either. Rakitic is only one who is both good and young enough and even he was really poor in part of last season. We need to improve our midfield badly, otherwise we will have huge problems in one year. If Gerson is really a talent worth 15 mil he can surpass Roberto and Rafinha (who is out of position as CM) easily.

According to Globo(Br tv), he will sign with Roma, and be loaned to Bologna. Barça will have preference in a future sale.

If true I guess it works out for both teams in the end. it will certainly help out his Development.

After his father claimed that he'll definitely play at Barca next season

The article mentions gerson was about to get a contract for 5 years with Barça, but that the club disliked a lot some of his father's actions. It seems he was trying to sell him to many clubs, whoever paid more.

Di Marzio has a article about this now.

here's a crappy translation from google.

Sadly it sounds like Roma gave up on getting Adriano

Hel hopefully put in a masterclass tonight and they will bid 100 million straight up for him

Some stuff from sport.

Barcelona and Roma talk on Fluminense player Gerson. Roma offered 15M, Barcelona wouldn't use first option, but would get buy option [sport]

Roma would give Barcelona a buy option for not using first option on Gerson. 25M in first two years, 35M after three years in Europe [sport]

Won't be a bad deal for Gerson at all. frankly it's better for him to go to Roma than sit here and rot on the bench.

 

[anguy]

Not a bad deal for us either. Little risk involved and if he really proves his talent we will have him more experienced just for 10 mil more than today.

for Bartolomeu if true.

Should just stay in Brazil, he's not ready.

Maybe not, but which player except Neymar has actually developed in Brazil for a long time now? Felipe Anderson, Coutinho, Firmino etc. All moved abroad.

I read he's partially owned by the same group as Keirrison, Henrique & Douglas. I understand it now.
