Hearts have a strong desire to retain Claudio Braga following Shankland's exit, and it appears that Braga is not eager to leave.

Claudio Braga has revealed that there is probably some interest in him this summer. The player stated that he does not know about the current situation and that he has two years left on his contract with Hearts, adding that he will leave the situation to his agents and enjoy his holiday.

Claudio Braga, a 26-year-old Portuguese centre-forward, is under contract with Hearts until 2028 and has a current market value of €6.00m, according to Transfermarkt. If Hearts sell Braga, they will rely on their model to find a replacement to make the same impact. He has been linked with several clubs, including Celtic, Brighton & Hove Albion, and Crystal Palace.
