On long-term scout potential he's rated 22.6, ranking 314th of 413 in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (52.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.74 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Gilberto.

Judged on this season alone, Gilberto graded 32 — a strong campaign that ranks top 20% of the 70 full-backs in the Serie A, on 7 clean sheets and 3.74 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 20 → 32). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 23, 58th of 70 of the 70 full-backs in the Serie A. At 33 Gilberto is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6.3 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Gilberto missed 9 games through injury (muscle bruise, injury, inactive) out of roughly 38 this season. The 23 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

3.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 52.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 22.6, Gilberto carries the 58th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Serie A of 70. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
