Celtic pursue Serie A midfielder Gineitis - gossip

What the report says

Celtic are reported to be weighing several midfield and attacking options as the transfer window develops, with one named target being Torino midfielder Gvidas Gineitis. According to the BBC Sport roundup, citing the Scottish Sun, Celtic plan to increase their interest in the 22-year-old after their Champions League play-off second leg away to LASK in Linz on Tuesday.

The same gossip item says Celtic are also close to a separate move for Bosnian midfielder Ermin Mahmic, described as a 21-year-old World Cup player, from Slovan Liberec. That report suggests the transfer would go ahead regardless of Celtic’s European result. Another linked name is Fares Ghedjemis, a winger at Frosinone, with the BBC noting reports that Celtic have made an offer and face competition from Rangers, Monaco and Besiktas.

Elsewhere in the roundup, Rangers are said to be open to selling Belgium midfielder Nico Raskin if their asking price is met. The article says clubs in England, Italy and Spain have made initial approaches for him, and that he has two years left on his contract. The wider context is a busy Scottish transfer period, with both Glasgow clubs linked to possible arrivals and, in Rangers’ case, a potential high-value departure.
