What happened
Torino are set to offload Anjorin to Goztepe in a deal that has been agreed between the clubs. The English midfielder had been deemed surplus to requirements and will continue his career in the Turkish Süper Lig. Meanwhile, Torino midfielder Gineitis was linked with a move to Scottish Premiership champions Celtic, but that transfer never came to fruition. The developments are part of Torino's squad reshaping ahead of the new season.
Chance analysis
Torino are trimming their midfield options this window, with Anjorin heading to Turkey after failing to establish himself in Serie A. The collapse of the Gineitis-to-Celtic talks removes a potential revenue stream but suggests Torino are either unwilling to sell the Lithuanian or held firm on valuation. Both moves reflect the increasingly international nature of mid-tier European transfer activity, with clubs like Goztepe and Celtic looking to Serie A for value.
Torino lose fringe squad depth in Anjorin while retaining Gineitis, and Goztepe gain a midfield option for the Süper Lig season.
