Athletico-PR close to signing full-back Gilberto from Palmeiras | OneFootball

Palmeiras is carrying out all the planning for the 2026 season with the arrival of new athletes, possible departures, and the promotion of players trained in the club's youth categories.

Interest in Palmeiras' Fullback

One of the highlights of Verdão's Under-20 team is close to having an uncertain future. NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that Athletico-PR is in advanced negotiations to sign right-back Gilberto.

The initial plan was to have the player compete in the Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior, but a loan at this time is not ruled out. The Academy graduate is not in Abel Ferreira's plans for 2026.

In April, Gilberto renewed his contract with Alviverde until the end of 2027.

Sale of Athletes

Last Tuesday (16), the Deliberative Council unanimously approved the budget for the 2026 season. The club expects to raise around R$ 400 million from player negotiations.

A large part of this amount will be achieved with the departure of some young players trained in the youth categories, such as Riquelme Fillipi, Benedetti, and even Allan, who gained significant value after the season played.
