Player reveals struggles after Celtic transfer saga – Bhoys can perform January rescue act

Gineitis reveals the summer transfer saga with Celtic has affected his form at Torino, losing prominence after the deal collapsed.

Gvidas Gineitis has opened up about the difficult months following Celtic's failed attempt to sign him from Torino during the summer transfer window. The midfielder was the subject of several formal bids from the Glasgow club, with Torino open to a sale until late in the window. Celtic were even offered a chance to sign him after the Italian transfer deadline, but did not pursue it.

Since the collapse of the move, Gineitis has struggled for playing time at Torino. He has failed to start in the last four league games and came off the bench for just over 30 minutes in Torino's 3-1 loss to Como. The 22-year-old Lithuanian international told the press after the match that the last few months have been difficult for him personally, though he praised manager Ignazio Abate's tactical approach.

With Torino having signed Daniel Braganca and Rolando Mandragora in the summer, Gineitis's development could be stifled. The article suggests Celtic may have an opportunity to revisit the transfer in January if his situation at Torino does not improve.
