Palmeiras interested in Benfica right back Gilberto

Benfica right back Gilberto continues to be linked with a move back to his native Brazil with the latest Brazilian club interested in landing the 30 year old being Palmeiras. Gilberto spent the winter transfer window linked to clubs Flamengo and Atletico Mineiro but no move materialized due to the clubs failure to meet Benfica's demands.

Gilberto joined Benfica in the summer of 2020 from Fluminense for €3M and has appeared in 97 games across all competitions since his arrival, scoring eight goals while setting up an additional eight. Gilberto lost his place in the starting eleven this season and is currently Benfica's back up right back after the arrival of Alexander Bah this summer.
