The upcoming season will see 39-year-old Italian Ignazio Abate coaching Torino, planning a 3-4-2-1 tactical scheme, in which G. Gineitis is also visible.
“Alongside a player who feels better passing the ball and controlling the rhythm of the game, such as E. Ilkhan or Ivan Ilić, the team needs intensity and a large work coverage.
And these are qualities from the Lithuanian’s repertoire,” explains Corriere Torino.
It is added that G. Gineitis is motivated by the role of central midfielder and wants a place in the starting lineup.
“Moreover, the Lithuanian can be excellent in attack when needed,” continues the Italian newspaper. “The Torino club understands G. Gineitis’s value and last year gave him a new contract valid until summer 2029.”
The Lithuanian himself bought a house in Turin, vacationed by the sea and in Paris with his beloved, and now logically expects a central role in the Torino team.
The Turin club feels attention towards the Lithuanian but wants to continue working together, although it understands that a huge offer arriving could change the scenario,” summarizes Corriere Torino.
It was previously reported that the greatest interest in G. Gineitis is shown by the Scottish giant Glasgow Celtic. Also mentioned are the German Bundesliga teams Hoffenheim and Freiburg.
