Gustaf Lagerbielke, born on 10 April 2000 in Sweden, currently aged 25, is a central defender plying his trade at SC Braga. Standing at a formidable 6ft 3in (1.91m) and weighing 12st 8lb (80kg), Lagerbielke is a robust presence in defence. He is also recognised for his services to the Sweden national team.
His market value is estimated to be around £2.6m, per Transfermarkt.
Lagerbielke's professional journey began at Sollentuna FK in the Swedish Division 2 in January 2019. A two-year stint led to a move to Vasteras SK in the Swedish Superettan in January 2021. Subsequent stays at IF Elfsborg in the Allsvenskan and Degerfors IF, via a loan deal, saw him garner valuable first-team experience and marked his rise in Swedish football.
In August 2023, Lagerbielke graced Scottish soil, transferring to Celtic FC for a fee around £3m. During his brief period at our beloved club, the 2023-2024 season, Lagerbielke made seven first team appearances in league matches. While not a longtime Celt, his commitment on the pitch was evident and respected by the Hoops faithful.
An ensuing loan spell to FC Twente in the Netherlands in August 2024, where Lagerbielke made 20 first team appearances and netted a goal, seemed to further his development.
The Swedish defender's journey saw another twist in July 2025. He left Celtic, departing to SC Braga in the Liga Portugal. The Portuguese side secured his services for a fee of around £2.2m. In the current 2025 - 2026 season at SC Braga, Lagerbielke has made ten first team appearances and found the net once.
His international duties include the World Cup Qualifiers Europe in 2024-2026 for Sweden, recording three starts and one substitute appearance. He has also been active in the Europa League Qualifiers 2025 - 2026 and the main tournament for SC Braga, amassing a total of nine starts to his name.
