Gustaf Lagerbielke, a stalwart defender, was born on the 10th of April 2000 in Sweden. Currently plying his trade at SC Braga, Lagerbielke's imposing physique of 6 feet 3 inches (1.91m) and weighing in at 12 stone 8 pounds (80kg), gives him a significant presence on the pitch. He can commonly be spotted in the number 14 jersey, both for his club and the Swedish national team.
As per Transfermarkt, Lagerbielke's value is estimated at a wholesome £2.5 million, attesting to his established presence on the field.
His professional journey began at Sollentuna FK, where he signed in January 2019, following which he transferred to Vasteras SK in January 2021. Later that year, in August, Lagerbielke moved up the Swedish football echelons to join IF Elfsborg in the Allsvenskan for an undisclosed fee. He marked his debut season with a promising two starts, increased to six in 2022, followed by a solid 16 in 2023, where he also added two goals to his tally.
A brief loan spell at Degerfors IF in 2022 saw Lagerbielke make 14 first team appearances and score three league goals. He returned to IF Elfsborg in January 2023, carrying forward his previous showings with another 16 appearances and two goals during the year.
Departing the Swedish top flight in August 2023, Lagerbielke joined Celtic, commanding a fee of around £3 million. He had a modest start in Scotland with seven appearances in the 2023-24 season. At Celtic, Lagerbielke didn't just learn and grow as a footballer, but his spirits were moulded by the battle-hardened griffs of Parkhead. The memorable chants and anthems that reverberate around Celtic Park left definite imprints on Lagerbielke's time with the Hoops.
In August 2024, he was loaned to FC Twente where he made a respectable 20 appearances, notching up a goal along the way. However, Lagerbielke's tenure with Celtic came to a close in July 2025, when he swapped the green and white hoops for the red and white of SC Braga for a fee of around £2.2 million. Lagerbielke has since made 12 first team appearances for Braga in the 2025-26 Liga Portugal season, with two goals to his name.
Lagerbielke has also represented Sweden in the World Cup Qualifiers Europe 2024 - 2026 with three starts and one substitute appearance. At club level, he's had five appearances each in the Europa League Qualifiers and the main Europa League tournament in the season 2025 - 2026 for SC Braga.
