Celtic are considering signing Gvidas Gineitis following their Champions League qualifier against LASK, according to a new report.
The Scottish champions have been tracking the 22-year-old Torino midfielder for some time and are "strongly interested" in the player.
However, any potential move is dependent on the outcome of their crucial European fixture, which has financial and sporting implications for the club. According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Gineitis remains on Celtic’s radar as they assess midfield options.

The club's hierarchy is expected to make a final decision on the Lithuanian international, born in 2004, once the European fixture's outcome is confirmed. Celtic are currently 3-0 up, ahead of the second leg in Austria.
A successful progression in the Champions League would provide a significant boost to Celtic's budget and increase their scope for recruitment before the transfer window closes.
A decision on whether to make a move for Gineitis could therefore be made as early as Wednesday, following Tuesday's match in Linz.
The club have also been linked with Slovan Liberec's Ermin Mahmic, as well as Niko Sigur of Hajduk Split.
