Gustaf Lagerbielke, a Swedish-born footballer, was born on 10th of April, 2000. At present, aged 25, Lagerbielke hips his professional flag with Celtic, positionally operating as a central defender. Lagerbielke's physicality fits his designation quite appropriately, standing 6 feet 3 inches tall (1.91m) and weighing 12st 8lb (80kg). Besides his club commitments, Lagerbielke also uplifts the national colours by representing Sweden's national team.
Lagerbielke's contemporary market value orbits around Β£3m, as noted by Transfermarkt. His Celtic tenure is near conclusion, with his contract expiring at the end of June 2025, just two months away.
The journey of Lagerbielke's professional career is quite noteworthy. His initial steps in professional football were taken with Sollentuna FK, a Division 2 club in Sweden, when he joined them in January 2019. After two years at Sollentuna FK, Lagerbielke fetched himself a transfer to Vasteras SK, a Superettan club in Sweden, in January 2021.
Lagerbielke's performances were sufficient to earn him a move up to the Swedish Allsvenskan with IF Elfsborg in August 2021, for an undisclosed fee. Lagerbielke operated with Elfsborg for three seasons, until 2023. His first season was quite reserved, featuring just twice for the first team. His second and third seasons were more fruit-bearing as he ruled the field in 6 and 16 league games respectively, while also netting two goals in the latter season. Lagerbielke was also loaned to Degerfors IF, another Allsvenskan club, in July 2022 where he featured 14 times and managed to send the ball to the back of the net on three occasions.
In August 2023, Lagerbielke found his calling up north, signing with Celtic for a fee of around Β£3 million. During the 2023-2024 season, Lagerbielke graced the league with his presence seven times, while the 2024-2025 season hasn't seen him make any league appearances for Celtic. In August 2024, Lagerbielke switched his boots for play in the Eredivisie with FC Twente in the Netherlands on a loan deal. Lagerbielke has featured for his Dutch hosts 20 times this season, scoring once.
Lagerbielke's performance in the Champions League 2023-2024 for Celtic was good, if brief, with a single start and substitute appearance, but he managed to find the net once. His journey with Celtic, though short, has been an eventful one, stimulating interest in how his career will progress post his impending Celtic departure. The club's supporters will likely be watching his future, career moves with interest.
