Gilberto admits he's desperate to quit Hertha Berlin this month.
Gilberto told Bild: "It is all in the hands of Dieter Hoeness (Berlin's general manager). If he says I may go, I am away."
It has been reported that Hertha have been unable to meet the player's demands, which amounted to a new contract worth 10 million euros (£7.5million).
Hoeness said: "Our entire recruitment budget for the winter break would be taken up meeting Gilberto's demands."
