Jesús Castillo is not part of Tozé Marreco's plans for the new season, and his departure is imminent. He is currently integrated into the under-23 squad, awaiting a resolution. Gil Vicente acknowledges that his departure might be the best solution and does not rule out a loan. The player has a contract with Gil Vicente until 2027.

Tiago Lenho, general director of Gil Vicente, confirmed the existence of contacts for Castillo, but did not disclose the interested clubs. There are no official proposals yet.
