Roma expected to loan Gerson

By Football Italia staff

Gerson is struggling for playing time at Roma, so could be loaned out to Empoli or Crotone in January.

The Giallorossi invested €16m to buy the midfielder from Fluminense.

He has managed just three appearances in European competition for a total 71 minutes of football and is still waiting for his Serie A debut.

A mid-season loan for the 19-year-old to gain Serie A experience is more than likely.

Empoli and new boys Crotone have already stepped forward to express their interest, according to Empoli Channel.
