OM’s Brazilian midfielder, Gerson, is on the way out but there is nothing “concrete” at this stage, Marseille club coach Igor Tudor admitted at a press conference on Thursday. The Marseillais would be approached for a return to Flamengo, in Brazil.
Nothing is going well at OM between Gerson and his coach Igor Tudor. For the first time, the Marseille coach spoke about the case of his player who would like to go elsewhere. He would be close to a return to Flamengo in Brazil.
“It seems that there is an intention to make him leave. But I will only give my comment when there is concrete,” Olympique de Marseille coach Igor Tudor said of Gerson. .
His exit supports the persistent rumor of the Brazilian international’s imminent departure, launched by his father and agent who expressed his “anger” at the end of October in an interview with L’Équipe in which he judges that his son has not not enough playing time.
Set aside by Tudor
Arrived for five years from the Brazilian club Flamengo in June 2021, Gerson, 25, had a first full season at OM then coached by Jorge Sampaoli.
With Tudor’s arrival in the offseason, his status deteriorated. The Croatian coach only started him six times over the first 14 days of L1. He did not play a single minute during the trip to Paris and then the reception of Lens.
OM, 4th in Ligue 1, will play in Monaco on Sunday (8:45 p.m.) at the end of the 15th day of the championship, a match to be experienced live and in full in Europe 1 Sports.
