Portuguese side Braga have made a formal approach to sign Gustaf Lagerbielke from Celtic, with the Swedish defender reportedly open to the move.
Fabrizio Romano reports that Braga have submitted an official offer worth €2 million to the Hoops, and negotiations are currently ongoing. The 25-year-old is said to be keen on the switch as he looks to kick-start his career away from Glasgow.
Lagerbielke joined Celtic in 2023, but failed to hold down a regular spot under Brendan Rodgers. He made only a handful of appearances before being loaned out to Dutch outfit FC Twente in August. His time in the Eredivisie offered more consistent game time, but it appears he remains well down the pecking order at Lennoxtown heading into the new season.
With the Hoops expected to strengthen in central defence during this transfer window, a permanent exit for Lagerbielke would come as little surprise. Celtic are likely weighing up whether the €2m bid represents fair value.
Braga, who regularly compete in Europe and finished fourth in the Portuguese top flight last season, would offer the former Elfsborg defender a fresh start in a strong league.
As it stands, talks are ongoing and it remains to be seen whether the two clubs can reach an agreement.
