Gilberto Batista renewed his contract with Moreirense until 2029, after successful negotiations that took place despite interest from other clubs in the defender. The 22-year-old player arrived at Moreira de Cónegos in 2023, coming from Sporting's B team, and the renewal represents a vote of confidence from the club in the young defender.
Last season was the most productive for Gilberto Batista at Moreirense, with 28 games played. This season, the defender already has all three of Moreirense's games in the League, demonstrating continuity and importance in the starting eleven of the team managed by the monks.
In statements to the club's media, Gilberto Batista expressed satisfaction with the renewal, stating that it shows the trust the club places in him. The player committed to continuing to evolve and guaranteed that by 2029 he will have even more experience and learning to offer the team.
The defender also left a message for Moreirense's fans, asking them to continue supporting the club and trusting the players in this project, which according to him is very much focused on investing in young players. Gilberto Batista considers himself a different player today from the one who arrived in 2023, capable of offering more to the team.
