Gerson's father denies Flamengo's R$ 43 million lawsuit

Marcão, the father and agent of midfielder Gerson, has publicly criticized a lawsuit filed by Flamengo against him and the player. The club is seeking approximately R$ 43 million in fines related to an image rights contract.

In an interview, Marcão denied receiving the disputed funds, labeling the legal action a “setup” by Flamengo officials. He claimed the club's management acted improperly regarding the player's release clause, alleging they adjusted the amount to match a specific European offer. Marcão stated his intention to present his version of the facts in court to defend his reputation.
