Ten years after returning to the club, in February of last year, Gilberto Duarte has now extended his deal with FC Porto until 2027. The 36-year-old Portuguese international full-back is thus preparing to play his 11th season in blue and white. “Very happy” to continue at FC Porto, the player remains ambitious to “win every competition”, “even with all the changes” in the coaching staff and the squad. Ready to “pass on experience to the younger players and help them grow”, Gilberto Duarte asks for the fans’ support and leaves a guarantee: “Expect good things from us”.
The contract renewal“The feeling is the same as when I returned, I’m very happy with this renewal. Being able to be at home is fantastic and gives me motivation to keep going.”
The changes do not alter the ambition“Even with all the changes, the goals are the same and involve winning every competition. Or at least fighting for them and giving our all. We want to bring joy to Dragão Arena.”
Experience in the service of the team“Now it’s about passing on my experience to the younger players and trying to help them grow, as well as helping on the court during matches.”
Daymaro Salina’s contract renewal“It was a really nice moment. I’m very happy to be here with him and with other people here at Dragão Arena. Daymaro and I have already been friends for many years, and we understand each other very well on and off the court.”
