In the latest update on Gustaf Lagerbielke’s potential move to Lecce, the player has gone public with his desire to join the Italian club.

This comes after Celtic’s recent decision to put the transfer on hold. Lagerbielke spoke to Tuttomercatoweb, an Italian media outlet, expressing his eagerness for the move. “Lecce has shown a very strong interest in me. I want to go, play and make a difference,” said the Swedish international.

This development adds a new dimension to the ongoing narrative surrounding Lagerbielke’s future at Celtic. His direct comments reflect a clear intention to seek more playing time and a new challenge, something he has not consistently found under Brendan Rodgers at Celtic.

With the transfer deadline set for Thursday night, there is still a possibility for changes in the situation. Lagerbielke’s straightforward appeal for a transfer, even on a loan basis, suggests his readiness for a change in his career path.

This situation continues to evolve, with Gustaf’s public statement potentially influencing Celtic’s decision-making as the transfer window draws to a close.

The outcome of this situation remains to be seen, with the possibility of a late twist before the deadline.
