Gilberto’s recent behavior may have jeopardized his future, with concerns rising in his home country of Angola.
Is Orlando Pirates’ Gilberto Losing Focus?
After struggling to break into Orlando Pirates’ first team, the club loaned the 24-year-old winger back to his former side, Petro de Luanda, earlier this year. Despite his R11 million price tag and strong reputation upon arrival, Gilberto managed only 11 appearances for the Buccaneers, failing to score or assist in any of them.
According to KickOff, doubts are now growing about his fitness and lifestyle choices. A video recently emerged showing him shirtless, lying on the floor, chatting with two women, and holding a bottle of tequila amidst a room full of alcohol. These actions have raised concerns about his professionalism, with sources in Luanda suggesting that such videos damage his image.
Some fans of Petro de Luanda have also questioned his fitness and physical condition, adding to the growing scrutiny surrounding his career.
Meanwhile, Orlando Pirates are reportedly eyeing a new midfield player, with Marumo Gallants’ Masindi Nemtajela reportedly on their radar.
