Gustaf Lagerbielke, born on the 10th of April in the year 2000, which makes him a ripe age of 25 years, is a Swedish international footballer. His primary position on the pitch is as a central defender and he currently presents his talents to SC Braga. A towering figure in defence, Lagerbielke stands a significant 6ft 3in (1.91m) tall and maintains an athletic build at 12st 8lb (80kg). He adorns the number 14 jersey when on the field.
According to Transfermarkt, Lagerbielke's current market value is assessed around £2.5m -- quite the figure for a defender.
Lagerbielke's professional career began in January 2019 when he joined Swedish Division 2 team, Sollentuna FK. In January 2021, young Lagerbielke transferred from Sollentuna FK to Vasteras SK, a team competing in Sweden's Superettan. By August of the same year, Lagerbielke found himself moving around once more, this time to IF Elfsborg, a team in the prestigious Allsvenskan, Sweden's top-flight football league. His move, however, saw him initially only make a small number of appearances. His debut season provided him with only two league matches, followed by six in the next, but in his third year with IF Elfsborg, Lagerbielke managed to seal 16 league appearances and scored his first two goals in professional football.
In an interesting turn of events, Lagerbielke was loaned out in July 2022 to Degerfors IF, another team in the Allvenskan. His loan season witnessed 14 first team appearances and the addition of three goals to his tally. Upon the completion of his loan in January 2023, Lagerbielke returned to his parent club IF Elfsborg to finish the season there.
Lagerbielke's journey brought him to Scotland in August 2023, as he transferred to Celtic, a powerhouse team in the Scottish Premiership for a fee of essentially £3m. His tenure with Celtic was short but memorable, making seven first team appearances in his debut season 2023-2024, before being loaned out to FC Twente in the Eredivisie in the Netherlands in August 2024 where he had a glimpse of football outside Scandinavia, making 20 first-team appearances and scoring once.
July 2025 saw Lagerbielke bid adieu to Celtic and Scotland to make the move to Portugal, joining SC Braga in the Liga Portugal for around £2.2m. In the ongoing season, he has made 11 first team appearances and scored twice thus far.
His international career includes representing Sweden in the World Cup Qualifiers Europe 2024 - 2026 with three starts and one appearance as a substitute. Similarly, Lagerbielke has had a taste of European competition, participating in the Europa League Qualifiers and Europa League matches (2025 - 2026 season) with his current club, SC Braga, making five starts in both instances.
