G. Lagerbielke Transfer from Celtic to FC Twente
Gustaf Lagerbielke is presently on a straight loan to FC Twente until the summer. Despite facing challenges initially, there is a possibility that FC Twente might sign him on a permanent basis next summer. Lagerbielke has indicated that he is enjoying his time in the Netherlands and is receptive to the idea of being acquired by FC Twente. He remains under contract with Celtic until 2028, and returning to Celtic is also an option if FC Twente decides not to proceed with a permanent transfer.
Gustaf Lagerbielke joined FC Twente on a season-long loan in the summer after a disappointing debut year at Celtic Park. He has yet to make a single start in the Eredivisie, with just four substitute appearances overall. Lagerbielke expressed his frustration at the lack of game time but vowed to keep fighting for a place in the backline.
Mikael Lustig expressed that it was "for the best" for Celtic to permit Gustaf Lagerbielke to leave on loan to FC Twente. The 24-year-old Sweden international struggled to secure a spot as a starter for the Hoops following his transfer from Eflsborg, making only 10 appearances, mostly as a substitute. Lustig hopes the loan move will help Lagerbielke regain his confidence, which he may have lost from frequently sitting on the Celtic bench. He mentioned to CeltsAreHere.com that Celtic is a big club with many center-halves, highlighting the performances of Cameron Carter-Vickers and others. Therefore, he believed it was best for both Gustaf and Celtic for him to go on loan to the Netherlands.
