According to ESPN BR, Gerson arrived in Brazil in December and asked his father to finalize a deal with Cruzeiro, stating that he did not want another destination in Brazil. His salary will be the highest in the squad. Zenit internally considered a deal around 30 million euros and wanted to recover its investment of 29 million euros. Cruzeiro had at least three official proposals rejected: one for 12 million euros, another for 12 million euros plus Jonathan Jesus, and a 27 million euros fixed offer. The variable portion of the final agreement is structured as 500,000 euros per collective title won by the team, up to a 3 million euros maximum. Intermediaries will receive 10% of the fixed transfer fee, divided among Gerson's father Marcão, Junior Mendonza, Carlos Meinberg Neto, and André Cury. Carlos Leite, a former career manager for Gerson, will also receive a share from Marcão's portion.

According to Globo.com, Gerson has signed a four-year contract with Cruzeiro. The team from Minas Gerais will pay a fixed 27 million euros. The amount could surpass R$ 190 million if the midfielder meets all the sporting objectives set in the contract, resulting in an additional three million euros in bonuses. The negotiation is described as the largest in history by a Brazilian club.

Central da Toca reports that Gerson will undergo a medical examination on Friday, January 9, before a transfer to Cruzeiro. The player will travel for the medical on the private plane of the president of Cruzeiro, while the clubs will be completing all bureaucratic procedures related to the transfer.

According to ESPN, Gerson has a verbal agreement with Cruzeiro and is expected in Belo Horizonte this Saturday (10) to undergo medical examinations and sign a contract. Gerson's agreement is for a four-season contract until December 2029. After a long negotiation process with Zenit, Cruzeiro completed the transfer for a total value of 30 million euros. The deal initially involved Cruzeiro paying a fixed 26 million euros with another 4 million euros for objectives, but in the last meeting between all parties, the agreement was changed to a fixed 27 million euros and 3 million euros in variables. A decisive factor was the player's desire to leave Russia and return to Brazilian football, particularly to work with Tite.

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano on his social network X page, the deal for midfielder Gerson's transfer to Cruzeiro has been finalized by all interested parties. The Saint Petersburg club accepted an offer for the 28-year-old footballer's move to the Brazilian club, which consists of a fixed sum of €27 million and an additional €3 million in bonuses. Romano also emphasizes that Gerson is ready to return to Brazil.

ESPN Brésil announced that Gerson will return to Brazil to join Cruzeiro, that Cruzeiro will pay a fixed fee of €26 million and an additional €4 million in bonuses, and that Gerson has already reached an agreement with his future club to sign a contract until December 2029.

Cruzeiro has finalized the most important details of the negotiation with Zenit and is close to securing the signing of Gerson. ESPN reports that Cruzeiro will pay 26 million euros in fixed fees for the midfielder and that they have a verbal agreement with him for a four-year contract until December 2029. The deal also includes up to 4 million euros in bonuses, and the payment of this variable amount is the detail that remains to be adjusted. The total transfer value could reach 30 million euros. Previously, the club from Minas Gerais had at least two official offers rejected. Gerson's desire to return to Brazilian football and to work with Tite was a factor in the negotiation.

According to Central da Toca, Cruzeiro's executive director Bruno Spindel reported that negotiations with Zenit for Gerson took place for almost the entire day yesterday. He stated that the negotiations remain very complicated and have stalled due to details. Spindel confirmed that Cruzeiro's offer remains available. He noted that he cannot guarantee a positive outcome for the deal, but they will do everything possible.

Central da Toca reports that Gerson's father announced his son's transfer to Cruzeiro in front of the Brazilian club's fans. The father, who is also the player's agent, met with the Cruzeiro management at their training base. After this meeting, Gerson's father took photos with the fans and told them that they can already buy Cruzeiro jerseys with the number '8' and Gerson's name on them.

According to journalist Samuel Venancio on YouTube, Zenit and Cruzeiro have not yet reached a final agreement regarding the transfer of Gerson, but the parties are close to doing so. Cruzeiro is taking important steps to complete the deal and is ready to pay around €10 million in cash immediately, while the total transfer sum may amount to between €25 and 30 million. Zenit understands that Gerson is unlikely to remain with the team, and this is an opportunity to recoup funds spent on his purchase from Flamengo. An agreement with Gerson himself has already been reached.

According to journalist Vene Casagrande on social network X, Cruzeiro has made a new offer to acquire Zenit's midfielder Gerson. Representatives of the two clubs will meet today to finalize the deal. The source states that Cruzeiro offered Zenit the same €27 million, comprised of a €25 million fixed amount and an additional €2 million in bonuses.

Bruno Spindel stated that Cruzeiro's focus is on Gerson and confirmed that two official proposals were made for the player. He said the first was for 12 million euros plus defender Jonathan Jesus, who has a valuation of 12 million euros, while Cruzeiro also showed a willingness to pay slightly more than 25 million euros without including Jonathan. Negotiations between the clubs are continuing. Spindel explained that a component of the negotiation is to persuade Zenit that the values are within an acceptable range, adding that Zenit is a club that does not require the funds but has a transfer strategy. Spindel characterized the proposals as audacious and emphasized the club's effort is motivated by Gerson's potential contribution.

Cruzeiro continues to pursue the signing of Gerson and has increased its offer to Zenit. According to ESPN, the club from Minas Gerais is now offering 27 million euros to finalize the deal quickly. In a prior attempt, Cruzeiro offered 12 million euros and the inclusion of defender Jonathan Jesus, who has a valuation between 12 and 15 million euros. The Russian club desires 40 million euros for a sale but will assess the latest offer calmly, and it has not been rejected yet. Cruzeiro's vice-president Pedro Junio detailed that negotiations are in progress and daily dialogues are occurring. Internally, Cruzeiro believes Gerson's wish to return to Brazil could have an influence on the deal. Gerson is presently on vacation in Brazil and is enthusiastic about the prospect of joining Cruzeiro.

Cruzeiro received Gerson's father, Marcão, in Belo Horizonte and made an official proposal to Zenit to acquire Gerson's economic rights. The club is seeking an agreement to finalize his arrival, as the player is scheduled to return to Russia next Monday. Cruzeiro only formalized the attempt after a positive indication from Gerson and his staff. The formalization of the offer was initially reported by ESPN. Gerson and his representatives evaluated what Cruzeiro offered positively, and if he signs, he will receive a lower monthly wage than he does in Russia. There is no total agreement between the parties. Zenit has indicated to those involved in the negotiation that it would not accept values close to what Cruzeiro proposed. Cruzeiro has flexibility to negotiate but does not want the overall value of the operation to be much higher than what was proposed over the weekend. The negotiations are expected to develop by next Monday.

According to journalist Ekrem Konur, Zenit rejected a €27 million offer from Cruzeiro for midfielder Gerson. The Brazilian club is preparing a new offer for Zenit, and Gerson expresses a desire for the deal to be completed as soon as possible.

Cruzeiro have made a new proposal to Zenit for the signing of Gerson. According to ESPN, the latest offer includes 12 million euros and the transfer of Jonathan Jesus, a 21-year-old defender valued between 12 and 15 million euros, with the total value of the negotiation being around 25 million euros. Zenit has not officially responded to Cruzeiro. The Russian club initially requested around 40 million euros for Gerson.

Journalist Ekrem Konur reported that Cruzeiro has agreed on personal contract terms with Zenit midfielder Gerson. An agreement between Zenit and Cruzeiro for the transfer has not yet been reached. The club from Saint Petersburg initially requested €40 million for Gerson, but the price has been reduced during the current stage of negotiations. The negotiations are expected to continue for several more days.

According to Globo.com, Gerson is in negotiations to join Cruzeiro. The player's father and representative, Marcão, arrived in Belo Horizonte to meet with Cruzeiro's board members, including Bruno Spindel and Pedro Junio, and is in frequent contact with Pedro Lourenço, the owner of the club's SAF. The negotiation between Gerson and Cruzeiro regarding contract terms is considered advanced, but an agreement between the clubs has not yet been reached. The main obstacle is Zenit, the club that owns Gerson's economic rights. André Cury is mediating negotiations with Zenit, along with Joaquim Pinto from Cruzeiro. Zenit, which is aware of Gerson's interest in returning to Brazil, initially asked for 40 million euros but have already lowered their asking price.

Cruzeiro's vice-president, Pedro Junio, stated that the club is negotiating to sign Gerson. He described the negotiation as not easy and noted the difficulty of the talks for Gerson to join Cruzeiro this season. According to Pedro Junio, the process may take several days because Gerson is at a big club in Russia and due to his stature as a player. He also said there is an expectation for a positive outcome but warned that the conclusion could be delayed. Pedro Junio also stated that Gerson wants to return to Brazilian football, with Cruzeiro being one of his options. The negotiations began at the end of December and have advanced in recent days.

According to Globo.com, Gerson from Zenit is the main current target for Cruzeiro. The club, the player, and Zenit are still seeking an agreement on financial terms regarding salary and economic rights. Progress was made in the last week of the year, but further discussions are required. Gerson wants to play in the World Cup and currently sees Cruzeiro as the main interested club for a prominent role.

Marcão Silva stated that he had a conversation with Cruzeiro's owner, Pedrinho, and that he is optimistic about the project. He affirmed that the club and Gerson have made progress in negotiations, and he emphasized the importance of a World Cup project for the player, who desires to be in the next tournament. Marcão Silva also mentioned that Bruno Spindel, the new manager of Cruzeiro, could assist in the talks. He added that Gerson is still under contract with Zenit for four years and that any deal depends on the club's approval. Gerson has also received a consultation and a phone call from coach Tite. Additionally, Cruzeiro has appointed intermediary André Cury to work on the matter.

Cruzeiro is in talks with Zenit for the signing of midfielder Gerson, who the club considers a priority to strengthen their squad for 2026. According to ESPN, Zenit is making negotiations difficult and insists on negotiating the player only for 40 million euros. This amount is considered more than what Cruzeiro can afford, and the club is unlikely to reach this value. Gerson desires to be considered again for the Brazilian national team and believes returning to Brazil could help him gain the attention of Carlo Ancelotti. A return to Brazil is being evaluated by the player.

Palmeiras did not pursue Zenit player Gerson, who is wanted by Cruzeiro. The decision is due to the player not having the right characteristics for the position, despite being a praised player, and because his transfer would have a very high fee.

Negotiations for Cruzeiro to sign midfielder Gerson have not progressed, and talks are currently stalled. The main obstacle is the financial aspect with Zenit. Reporting indicates the Russian club wants 40 million euros to sell Gerson, while Cruzeiro indicated a value close to half of that amount. The potential inclusion of defender Jonathan Jesus as part of the payment has been discussed. Cruzeiro's owner, Pedro Lourenço, admitted interest in signing Gerson but stated the values are considered high. Cruzeiro is aware that it will face competition because Gerson has opportunities at other Brazilian clubs. Reaching an agreement with Gerson himself is considered easier, as Cruzeiro plans to reduce its wage bill with the departures of other players.

Pedro Loureço admitted that Cruzeiro is interested in signing Gerson for 2026. Loureço stated that the club is attempting to sign the player but emphasized that the negotiation values are high. He said that Gerson is a great player who interests any team in Brazil and that Cruzeiro is also interested. Loureço also said that there is a big difference between being interested and signing, describing Gerson as an expensive player who moved for a very high value. He added that they desire to have the great player.

Negotiations between Zenit and Cruzeiro for the possible transfer of midfielder Gerson are continuing. According to Globo, the Saint Petersburg club wants to receive €15 million and defender Jonathas Jesus for the transfer. Cruzeiro is ready to pay up to €12 million for Gerson and is continuing to discuss the possibility of including Jonathas Jesus in the deal.

Cruzeiro is in negotiations for Gerson, with coach Tite actively participating in the talks. Gerson is pleased with Tite's presence at Cruzeiro and has not ruled out returning to Brazil. Zenit, which invested 25 million for the player less than six months ago, prioritizes an immediate financial return. Cruzeiro is considering involving Jonathan Jesus in the negotiations. Gerson's salary in Russia is higher than that of any player currently at Cruzeiro. His staff has also indicated an interest in receiving compensation for the transaction.

Cruzeiro approached Zenit to sign Gerson and is considering how to proceed with the negotiations. Zenit is asking for a fee between 15 and 18 million euros and the inclusion of Jonathan Jesus. According to ESPN, Cruzeiro initially considered offering 12 million euros for Gerson alone. GE first published that talks had opened between the Brazilian and Russian clubs, a fact that ESPN has confirmed. Gerson is open to returning to Brazilian football to work with Tite again.

Cruzeiro is in negotiations to sign Gerson from Zenit, with the deal potentially including Jonathan Jesus moving to the Russian club. The Russian club is open to Gerson's departure and is asking for 15 million euros in addition to Jonathan Jesus. Cruzeiro offered 10 million euros for the defender. If Cruzeiro were to release Jonathan and pay 15 million euros for Gerson, the total value of the deal would be 25 million euros, which is the amount Zenit paid for Gerson in July. According to ge, Cruzeiro is willing to pay a maximum of 12 million euros, and the departure of Jonathan Jesus is still a topic of discussion. Cruzeiro's interest in Gerson, who they had been monitoring, increased with the arrival of Tite. Tite has previously coached the player at Flamengo and the Brazil national team.

According to a report from Brazilian insiders Bruno Andrade and Andre Hernan of ESPN, Zenit will not let 28-year-old Brazilian midfielder Gerson leave for less than €40 million. The report indicates that Zenit established this asking price because they do not want the player to depart in the winter. It is noted that both Cruzeiro and Palmeiras, who are interested in the midfielder, are not willing to pay such a fee and are expected to withdraw from negotiations. Gerson has been capped 14 times for Brazil, joined the Russian club in July 2025, and has a contract that runs until 2030. His market value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €22.00m. In the 25/26 season, he has made 8 appearances in the Premier Liga without scoring a goal.
