José Boto, director of Flamengo, revealed in an interview with ESPN that proposals for Gerson were refused by Flamengo. Despite interest from other clubs, Flamengo decided it's not the right time to negotiate his transfer. Boto also discussed with Gerson's father and agent, Marcão, who agreed with the club's decision.

Gerson's father, Marcão, expressed dissatisfaction with Flamengo's lack of recognition and salary for Gerson, despite his performance. He mentioned that Gerson might leave Flamengo if the situation doesn't improve, emphasizing Gerson's love for the club but also his need for recognition and proper compensation.

Gerson was linked with Stade Rennais following the arrival of Jorge Sampaoli. However, the interest is not current as Sampaoli's tenure in Brittany was short-lived. Gerson is currently experiencing issues with Flamengo regarding a promised salary increase, as stated by his father and agent, Marcão.

Jorge Sampaoli, the new coach of Stade Rennais, is interested in recruiting Gerson, a midfielder who has experience in Ligue 1 from his time at Olympique de Marseille (2021-2022), where he also worked with Sampaoli. Rennes has not made an official offer yet, and Flamengo is unlikely to part with such a key player easily.
