RIO DE JANEIRO, Jan. 29 (Xinhua) -- Vasco da Gama have secured a one-year loan deal with Fiorentina left-back Gilberto.
The 23-year-old will undergo a medical at Vasco's Sao Januario headquarters in Rio de Janeiro this week, according to the Uol news outlet, which cited an unnamed Fiorentina official.
Capped 11 times for Brazil at under-21 level, Gilberto joined Fiorentina in 2015 from Rio de Janeiro club Botafogo.
But he made just five appearances for the Italian Serie A side before being loaned to local rivals Hellas Verona.
Vasco earned promotion to Brazil's top flight after finishing third in the Serie B last year.
