Gilberto Valdenésio Fortunato (born 7 November 1987 in Florianópolis) is a Brazilian footballer who plays for PKNP F.C. in the Malaysia Premier League as a forward.
Gilberto previously has played with Guarani, Bandeirante and Hải Phòng. With Hải Phòng, he played 21 matches and scored seven times.
In 2013, Gilberto was transferred to Hải Phòng by signing a one-year deal. He scored the first goal for the club on 6 April 2013 in a 0–2 away win against Đà Nẵng.
In January 2014, due to the team's difficulties in the league, the donors took some players on a trial for one week, with Gilberto being one of them. On 27 January, he was officially transferred to Tirana as a free agent, signing a six-month contract with an option to extend it for another year.
He made his debut for Tirana in Albanian Superliga on 1 February during the 0–0 away draw against Kastrioti Krujë, coming on as a second-half substitute. Only six days later, in his first Tirana derby against Partizani Tirana, Gilberto scored his first goal for the club, giving Tirana the first win after 9 consecutive matches; he scored that goal in 77th minute with an overhead kick, giving White & Blues the first win of 2014. He was later substituted in the 90th minute for Mensur Limani, receiving a standing ovation. The loss caused the resignation of Partizani's coach, Hasan Lika. On 16 February, during the 0–1 away win against Bylis Ballsh at Adush Muça Stadium, Gilberto suffered a stomach-injury and was substituted in the 42th minute following a dangerous play from Bylis Ballsh players. On 23 February, in the next league match against Besa Kavajë, Gilberto netted his second Tirana goal and the equalizer in the 16th minute, helping the team to win the match 2–1 at Qemal Stafa Stadium. That was Tirana's third consecutive victory.
