The reported fee Celtic will earn from Lagerbielke sale
The Swede joined the Parkhead club in the summer of 2023 but made just 10 appearances in his first year in Glasgow. Lagerbielke spent the recent 2024/25 campaign on loan at FC Twente in the Dutch Eredivisie, making a notable impression across his 32 appearances in all competitions. Despite returning to Celtic over the summer, the 25-year-old looks set to permanently depart the club for Braga.

Sky Sports reporter Anthony Joseph now claims that Celtic could earn £2m from the sale, recouping two-thirds of the £3m they paid for Lagerbielke two years ago. UPDATE: Braga are close to agreeing a deal worth £2m for Celtic centre-back Gustaf Lagerbielke. It's understood the Sweden international is keen to join #SCBraga, who hope to him travel over for a medical later this week.#CelticFC — Anthony Joseph (@AnthonyRJoseph) July 2, 2025 The defender could follow Greg Taylor out the departure door. He recently left Celtic on a free transfer for PAOK, a switch he recently lifted the lid on: "It's probably the toughest decision I have had in my career," Taylor told Sky Sports. "When I left Kilmarnock in 2019 it was that bit easier, I was progressing and I wanted to go and play for the biggest team in Scotland. "At that time, there probably wasn't many who believed I would play as many games as I did, but the one person who really did was myself. I was lucky to go and play 200 plus games for Celtic which was unbelievable. "So, it wasn't easy - there was a million things to weigh up - but I just felt it was the right time to do it. I wanted to play regularly, and that is probably the big factor."
