Cláudio Braga, born on 28 October 1999 (age 26), is a Portuguese striker with Hearts. His profile is that of a working centre-forward rather than a project wrapped in promise, and his value is listed at around £6m by Transfermarkt.
His most productive league season came in 2025–26, when he scored 14 goals in 38 appearances for Hearts. That is the sort of return that tends to keep a striker relevant in Scotland, even if it does not require anyone to get carried away.
In 2026–27, Braga has scored two league goals in seven appearances, with a further League Cup goal among his early-season cup and European qualifying outings. Across all competitions for Hearts that season, he has three goals in 14 appearances.
Braga’s career to this point is centred on his spell at Hearts, where he has built his standing through steady league scoring and regular involvement across domestic and European fixtures.
