Gerson wants to leave Marseille as soon as possible
The situation is difficult for Gerson With l’Olympic Marseille. More really used by Igor Tudor in recent weeks, the Brazilian is now clearly considering leaving the club to relaunch.
Major player in the Sampaoli squad last season, here he is barred by competition from Harit and Under in particular, when it is not Guendouzi who evolves a notch higher. Like Dimitri Payet, his playing time has thus melted like snow in the sun.
A context that greatly annoys his camp. His father and agent, Marcao, did not hide from L’Equipe: “I will try to be balanced but I cannot hide that we are angry. This is a very problematic situation“, he dropped.
“How can a player who is in full possession of his means be left out overnight, without any chance to show his football? It’s incomprehensible. We are really sad because this coach (Igor Tudor) prevents us from dreaming of a place in the group for the World Cup with Brazil. There’s so little time left to show up.”
Regularly called by Tite last season, Gerson was indeed not on last month’s list of the Seleçao and his chances of being on the trip to Qatar next month are dwindling.
Marcao now plans very clearly to see his son leave the Old Port during the next transfer window, in January. With the objective of finding playing time in another club.
“We will go elsewhere. It’s inevitable. We are going to organize ourselves to leave as soon as the next transfer window. If Gerson is no longer important for OM, then we will find a club that will value him. Several have already come to light. We had no explanation from the coach. That’s why I’m going to talk to Pablo (Longoria) to find out what’s going on. Physically, Gerson is in great shape but he is sad and upset. And me too !”
Among the avenues mentioned are in particular Sevilleled for a few weeks by… Jorge Sampaoli, who appreciated him so much last season at OM.
