Overview
- Scottish outlets reported Celtic have identified 22-year-old Gvidas Gineitis as a potential replacement for Arne Engels, though that link is based on tabloid reporting and is unconfirmed.
- Gineitis's agent, Dmitry Vinokurov, told Tuttomercatoweb that the player is motivated by the chance to work under new Torino coach Ignacio Abate and that both player and club would carefully evaluate any interesting offers.
- Gineitis is a Lithuanian international who joined Torino from SPAL in 2022, has made about 80 appearances for the club and missed only three matches last season as Torino finished 12th in Serie A.
- Reports say multiple clubs across the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A and the Bundesliga are monitoring him, and earlier coverage linked a reported £25 million approach from Nottingham Forest though that bid has not been independently confirmed.
- Torino publicly regard Gineitis as part of their project, so a transfer would rely on a formal, credible offer and on whether the player prefers to remain and develop under Abate or move for regular advancement.
