Celtic Miss Out on Final Transfer Target Gineitis
Celtic’s late bid for Gvidas Gineitis fell through after personal terms were not agreed, leaving the midfielder at Torino and the club short of a squad boost.
- Celtic's move for Torino midfielder Gvidas Gineitis collapsed just before Wednesday's UEFA Europa League registration deadline. The 22-year-old will remain in Turin after negotiations failed to reach a conclusion.
- Arne Engels' £22 million summer departure to West Ham left the Hoops seeking a midfield replacement. Gineitis emerged as the top target after the club scouted the Lithuanian international since January.
- Reports suggest personal terms were not agreed, and it is claimed chief executive Michael Nicholson "did not proceed in negotiations in a way that put Celtic in position to close the deal."
- While the Gineitis deal stalled, the Parkhead club successfully secured three other recruits on Wednesday. The Hoops brought in Sam Johnstone, Landon Emenalo, and Shumaira Mheuka on loan before the deadline.
- Celtic may revisit the transfer in January, having previously planned to rekindle interest in the midfielder. Torino continues their campaign following a recent Coppa Italia clash with Monza, where Gineitis started.
