Lagerbielke confirms Celtic transfer exit hope as Twente could have 'money to spend'

Celtic outcast defender Gustaf Lagerbielke has confirmed he wants to stay at Twente Enschede after his successful loan spell.

Swedish stopper Lagerbielke has been a revelation for Twente this season, but the Dutch side have previously said they would struggle to match Celtic's asking price of a reported £2 million to land him permanently.

But he's admitted he would prefer to stay in the Netherlands next season too.

He said: "If we make it into Europe, Twente will have more money to spend. The same applies if Twente sells players in the summer.

"So it's up to the technical directors of Celtic and Twente to reach an agreement about me.

"I want to play and I feel good in the Netherlands. I can certainly imagine my future being here."

The 25-year-old has made 28 appearances for Twente since his loan move in August.
