Zenit midfielder Gerson, a 28-year-old Brazilian formerly of Flamengo, has prompted speculation of a move to Palmeiras after liking a comment from a supporter on Instagram. The fan's comment asked the club's president, Leila Pereira, to 'pick him up at the airport' for a possible transfer. This social media activity occurs while Gerson has played in only six matches for the Russian club, having not yet scored. According to Uol, Palmeiras has previously expressed interest in the player, and Gerson is reportedly open to the idea of returning to Brazil. Gerson's contract with the Russian club runs until June 30, 2030, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €22.00m.
