Gerson says yes to Barcelona despite Roma attack
Gerson Santos da Silva will be a Barcelona player in the next few days. The player said "no" to Roma and finally decided to take up Barcelona.
The father of the midfielder met on Monday with Fluminense to communicate the decision of his son to reject the proposal by the Italian side, who have bid €15million. Gerson is true to his word of waiting for Barcelona and apart from the pressure put on him, has kept his decision to sign for the Catalan side firmly in mind.
Fluminense and Barcelona will seal a deal in the next for days for around €12m. Luis Enrique's side want Gerson to continue with his team until January, when he will be able to play for Barcelona.
He would be signed now and then loaned back, unless Luis Enrique decides he wants to keep him with the squad - having more than four months to polish his new pearl.
