Gerson is unhappy with the idea of being loaned to Bologna or Empoli, so could ask Roma for a return to Brazil.
The midfielder was signed in August 2015 from Fluminense for €16.6m, although he remained at his old club for another year.
However, the 19-year-old has managed just seven appearances in all competition this season for a paltry 193 minutes of football.
In Serie A there was only one 13-minute cameo as a substitute.

The plan was to loan Gerson out to another Serie A side, such as Bologna or Empoli, so he can gain experience of playing regular first team football in Italy.
However, La Repubblica write that he and his entourage are not prepared to accept that step down.
They want him to either stay on at Roma or be loaned back to a club in Brazil.
