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]
