Great priority for Jorge Sampaoli from his appointment on the bench of OM last February, Gerson (24 years old) therefore arrived from Flamengo during the summer transfer window for a transfer that could reach € 30 million depending on the bonuses achieved, as le10sport.com revealed to you exclusively.

” When I arrived here, I wanted to do well, but it's football, there are ups and downs … I'm adapting, I'm doing best possible to meet expectations. Every day I am happier, I feel a little more at home. I give my maximum. Each championship is different. What I can tell you is that I am concentrating on what I have to do, to have the confidence of the coach (…) It is not always easy or possible to do my best, I feel that my mind is struggling a little right now, but I'm trying to focus on the game, the soccer, the only thing I can do. But yes, I must free myself to show you the real Gerson. Hopefully that will happen soon enough, “said the OM summer rookie.
