Cláudio Braga, born on 28 October 1999 (age 26), is a Portuguese striker with Hearts. His current market value is around £6m, according to Transfermarkt.

His strongest league season came in 2025-26, when he scored 14 goals in 38 appearances for Hearts. That is the clear marker in his career so far: regular games, a proper return, and enough output to make him more than just another forward passing through Tynecastle.

In 2026-27, Braga has made four Hearts appearances across all competitions, including one in the league, one in the Scottish Cup and two in Champions League qualifying. His career profile remains a straightforward one: a Portuguese centre-forward established at Hearts, with his best work so far coming in that productive 2025-26 campaign.

Braga's clearest recent marker was his 14-goal return in 2025-26. At Hearts, the 26-year-old striker carries a €7.00m market value, and that finishing output is the strongest indicator of his potential importance; his 2026-27 involvement is still too limited to make a firm judgement beyond a small sample across league, Scottish Cup and Champions League qualifying appearances.
