Negotiations regarding the transfer of Zenit and Flamengo midfielder Jerson unexpectedly became complicated. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to Ge Globo journalist Kaэ Mota, the Saudi Arabian club Al-Nasr has emerged as a new contender. This club approached the player with a higher salary offer than that of the Russian team.
According to the source, representatives of the Middle Eastern club quickly contacted the player after the match between Flamengo and Chelsea and have already offered a contract with a high salary. The initiator of the negotiations is Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus, who is close to being appointed to Al-Nasr. The Saudi side is not ready to back down until the transfer is officially finalized; they are striving to secure the player even at the last minute.
Additionally, the St. Petersburg club has tripled the Brazilian player's salary compared to his current Flamengo terms, but Al-Nasr is ready to come with even better conditions than that offer. This situation is noted to complicate the transfer process.
