It has been suggested that Celtic could make a move for the £13m midfielder in January.

It has become quite obvious by now that Celtic did not do a good enough job in the summer transfer window. The club did sign a couple of quality talents, like Camilo Duran and Mika Baur. But overall, the squad was weakened.

The midfield was one particular position in which Celtic could not get things wrong. And yet, that is exactly what happened.

Celtic lost Reo Hatate and Arne Engels, two starting-level midfielders. Paulo Bernardo also left on loan.

In return, Baur has looked like a decent addition. The likes of Joel van den Berg and Oliver Sorensen have not been able to meet expectations though.

On top of that, there are question marks over the performances of established players like Callum McGregor and Benjamin Nygren as well, and it is not hard to see why Celtic have been struggling all season.

Celtic tipped to make another move for Gvidas Gineitis

So, it would not come as a surprise if Celtic do end up looking to sign midfielders in the winter transfer window. And there is an update on that situation, and a potential player the Hoops could end up making a move for.

Anthony Joseph has suggested that Gvidas Gineitis is an option that Celtic could potentially end up revisiting in the winter transfer window.

According to CeltsAreHere, Joseph said on Celtic Fans TV: “That might be revisited in January actually, I think. I actually think that is a good possibility that Celtic will revisit that in January.”

Why did Celtic not sign Ginetis in the summer

Gineitis was seen as a primary target for Celtic in the summer transfer window but ultimately, the club did not end up making a move for him.

They signed a different midfielder from Serie A instead, bringing in Sorensen on loan from Parma. But he has not shown enough to suggest that he has a long-term future at Parkhead. That could result in Celtic trying their luck with Gineitis again.

It had been suggested by some outlets in the summer that the transfer asking price might have proven to be a stumbling block. It was claimed that Torino were looking for around £13 million to consider a Gineitis exit.

Since then, contrary claims have emerged though. It has been claimed that it is around half of that figure that Torino actually wanted.

Do not forget though that Celtic appeared to change their transfer plans once they failed to qualify for the Champions League. If that had not been the case, perhaps Gineitis would have been signed ahead of players like Sorensen and Van den Berg. Let's see if the club end up rectifying the mistake in the winter transfer window.
