Gilberto Moraes Júnior (born 7 March 1993), simply known as Gilberto, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a right back for Brazilian club Bahia.

Club career

[edit]

Botafogo

[edit]

Born in Campinas, São Paulo, Gilberto joined Botafogo's youth setup in 2010, from CFZ do Rio.[2] He made his first team debut on 23 April 2011, starting in a 2–5 Campeonato Carioca loss against Boavista, as the club opted to use the under-20 squad.[3]

Gilberto made his Série A debut on 5 September 2012, coming on as a late substitute for Márcio Azevedo in a 3–1 away win against Cruzeiro.[4] Definitely promoted to the main squad in 2013, he spent the campaign as a third-choice behind Lucas and Edílson.

On 5 January 2014, Gilberto was loaned to fellow top tier side Internacional, for one year.[5] He scored his first senior goal on his debut for the club on 2 February, netting his team's third in a 4–1 Campeonato Gaúcho home routing over Cruzeiro-RS.[6]

A first-choice in the 2014 Campeonato Gaúcho, Gilberto shared the same amount of playing time with Wellington Silva and Cláudio Winck in the Série A before returning to his parent club Botafogo for the 2015 campaign.[7]

With Fogão now in the Série B, Gilberto became an undisputed starter, and scored his first goal for the club on 11 March 2015 in a 3–0 home win against Tigres do Brasil.[8]

Fiorentina

[edit]

On 22 July 2015, Gilberto moved abroad after signing a contract with Italian Serie A side Fiorentina,[9] for a rumoured fee of R$ 3.4 million.[10] He made his debut abroad on 23 August, starting in a 2–0 home win against Milan.[11]

On 1 February 2016, after featuring rarely, Gilberto was loaned to fellow Serie A side Hellas Verona until the end of the season.[12] He moved to Serie B side Latina also in a temporary deal on 31 August,[13] before returning to his home country with Vasco da Gama, also on loan, on 31 January 2017.[14]

Fluminense

[edit]

On 29 December 2017, Gilberto agreed to a one-year loan deal with Fluminense.[15] His loan was renewed for a further year on 2 January 2019,[16] and he became an undisputed starter for the club in that year.

On 26 December 2019, Fiorentina announced that 50% of Gilberto's economic rights were sold to Fluminense.[17] He signed a contract until July 2022 with the club.[18]

Benfica

[edit]

On 8 August 2020, Gilberto agreed to a five-year deal with Portuguese Primeira Liga side S.L. Benfica.[19] He was a regular starter for most of the campaign, but lost his starting spot to Diogo Gonçalves in May, and was subsequently deemed surplus to requirements by manager Jorge Jesus.[20]

Bahia

[edit]

On 9 July 2023, Brazilian side Bahia announced the signing of Gilberto on a contract until 31 December 2026,[21] for a fee of €2.5 million, which could rise to €3 million with add-ons.[22]

International career

[edit]

Gilberto was called up to the Brazil under-21 team for the 2014 Toulon Tournament.[23] In the following year, he was also a part of the under-23 side which played in the Pan American Games; he featured in four matches during the competition.
