The Scottish champions have been linked with the Lithuania international in recent weeks, with reports claiming an opening proposal had been rejected by the Serie A side, who are believed to value the midfielder at around €15 million.

However, Gineitis’ agent, Dmitry Vinokurov, has moved to clarify the situation, insisting Celtic have yet to make a formal approach despite establishing contact.

Speaking to CeltsAreHere, he said: “Yes, people from Celtic have been in contact with me, but there was no offer yet.

“I appreciate their effort and am ready to cooperate, but I also have to keep working on other options for Gvidas.

“This information started with saying that there had been an offer before and it was not good enough. That’s not true.”

Vinokurov also suggested the prospect of a move to the Hoops is one that would interest his client should negotiations develop further.

He added: “Gvidas also appreciates the interest from such a big club and is ready to see the offer.”
