Celtic might have a renewed chance to sign midfielder Gvidas Gineitis, according to a new report.

The Scottish champions' interest comes after Red Bull Salzburg’s proposed deal for the player has reportedly stalled.

Torino, Gineitis' current club, are open to listening to offers, with club president Urbano Cairo stating: "There’s a lot of interest in our players.

"We can’t just ignore calls; we have to listen, and we are listening."

Despite this, Cairo has insisted that no bids have been accepted yet. He said: "At the moment, we’ve rejected all offers made to us. I’ve said no to everyone.

"That’s what’s happened so far, and that’s what I’d like to continue until the end of the transfer window."

Torino are reportedly seeking about €20 million in outgoing fees to balance their books. Gineitis, an academy product, would be a beneficial sale, with a standalone asking price of around €10 million.

His sale would reportedly be particularly beneficial for the club's finances. However, Cairo has indicated that the club's transfer activity is dependent on departures.

He said: "We still have a few things to do in the market, including some departures.

"How many more will we sign? It depends on who leaves."
