Defender who left Sporting for free could earn Moreirense €1m | OneFootball

Moreirense are set to receive an offer for centre-back Gilberto Batista, with Raków emerging as the main club interested in signing the player who left Sporting on a free transfer. The Polish club are reportedly willing to move forward with an offer in the region of €1 million.

According to the Polish press, the side competing in this season’s Conference League is closely monitoring the youngster’s situation and is preparing to make a formal approach to the Cónegos. The potential transfer could represent a new stage in the 22-year-old’s career.

Gilberto Batista arrived in Moreira de Cónegos in 2023 after coming through the youth ranks at the Alvalade club, and gradually grew in importance within the side managed by Vasco Botelho da Costa. Last season, the defender made 28 appearances, also playing a key role in the 2-2 draw against Braga, in which he started.

The centre-back is currently valued at around €1.5 million, according to his market value. Moreirense may therefore have to consider an offer below that mark, at a time when the player remains under contract with the Minho club.

Gilberto Batista’s contract runs until the summer of 2027, but the situation could become more significant in the coming months. This is because, from January onwards, the defender will be free to negotiate a potential agreement with another club.
