Celtic Defender Gustaf Lagerbielke Open to Permanent FC Twente Move
Celtic centre-back Gustaf Lagerbielke, currently on loan at FC Twente, has revealed that a permanent transfer to the Dutch club is a possibility.
Lagerbielke joined Twente on a season-long loan in the summer, after struggling to establish himself under Brendan Rodgers at Celtic. The 24-year-old Swedish defender has impressed in the Netherlands, sparking speculation about his future.
“It is a straight loan until the summer,” Lagerbielke told Fotbollskanalen. “Then there is always the possibility that I will be bought. So far it’s felt very good there, so we’ll see how it goes forward.”
Despite the potential for a permanent move, Lagerbielke has not ruled out returning to Celtic, where he remains under contract.
“There is always that [chance of going back to Celtic],” he added. “I still have a contract there. It’s not out of the question at all. Then I’ll have to see closer to the end of the season what happens with everything. But it’s a fantastic club.”
Key Points:
- Gustaf Lagerbielke open to permanent FC Twente transfer
