Club Career

Fluminense

Born in Belford Roxo, Rio de Janeiro, Gerson finished his formation with Fluminense. On 28 August 2014, he was promoted to the main squad, being included in the club's 22-man list for that year's Copa Sudamericana.

On 12 November 2014, Gerson signed a new five-year deal with the club. He was subsequently linked to Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Juventus throughout the year, but nothing came of it.

Gerson made his senior debut on 22 February 2015, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 0–1 home loss against Vasco for the Campeonato Carioca championship. He scored his first goal for the club on 8 March, netting his team's second in a 3–1 home win against Botafogo. He appeared in 12 matches during the tournament, scoring four goals. Gerson made his Serie A debut on 9 May 2015, starting in a 1–0 home win against Joinville.

Roma

After being linked to several top European clubs in the winter of 2015–16, Gerson sealed a move to Italian club Roma on 4 January for around €15 million.

On 27 November 2016, Gerson started his first game with Roma against Pescara.

Loan to Fiorentina

On 20 July 2018, Gerson joined Fiorentina on loan until 30 June 2019.

Flamengo

On 12 July 2019 Gerson signed with Brazilian club Flamengo through 2023. The €11.8m (R$49.7m) transfer fee made Gerson the most expensive Brazilian player ever signed by a Brazilian club at the time.

At the beginning of the 2021 season Gerson won the 2021 Supercopa do Brasil, the 2021 Campeonato Carioca and helped Flamengo qualify for the round of 16 at the 2021 Copa Libertadores, also securing a move to Olympique Marseille ahead of the 2021-22 season.
