Gustaf Lagerbielke, born 10 April 2000 in Sweden, is a 25-year-old defender currently playing with SC Braga. He primarily plays as a central defender and is noted for his stature, standing 1.91m (6ft 3in) tall and weighing in at 80kg (12st 8lb). Lagerbielke dons the number 14 jersey and has demonstrated his abilities on an international level, having represented the Sweden national team.
Economic value in football can be a tricky measure, but Transfermarkt lists Lagerbielke's current market value at a comfortable £2.6m.
Lagerbielke's journey in football commenced in January 2019, when he joined Sollentuna FK in the Division 2 in Sweden. From there, Lagerbielke transferred to Vasteras SK in the Superettan in Sweden, in January 2021.
His tenure at IF Elfsborg, which he joined in August 2021, was mixed. The performance started with two first team appearances in league matches in the debut season. The next season saw him make six first team appearances, and by 2023, Lagerbielke managed 16 first team appearances, even netting two goals. Amidst all this, Lagerbielke also ventured on loan to Degerfors IF in 2022, making 14 appearances and scoring three goals.
Celtic, part of the upper echelons of Scottish football, acquired Lagerbielke in August 2023, for a fee of around £3m. Despite this, Lagerbielke's time at Celtic was relatively short-lived, featuring in a total of seven first team appearances in the 2023 - 2024 season before heading on loan to FC Twente.
Lagerbielke's move to FC Twente in the Eredivisie in the Netherlands was confirmed in August 2024. His tenure at FC Twente was marked by 20 first team appearances and one goal. In a twist of fate, Lagerbielke transferred back from FC Twente to Celtic in July 2025, after which he promptly moved to SC Braga in Liga Portugal for a fee of around £2.2m.
In his current season at SC Braga, Lagerbielke has made ten first team appearances and scored one goal in league matches. Outside of club prowess, Lagerbielke represented Sweden in the World Cup Qualifiers Europe in 2024 - 2026, with three starts and one appearance as a substitute. He also played in the Europa League Qualifiers 2025 - 2026 and the Europa League 2025 - 2026 for SC Braga, with five starts in each competition.
