Fiorentina made an approach to Celtic for Auston Trusty via an agent, which was rejected. According to journalist Scott Burns, the move was driven by an agent and the Serie A side wanted to acquire the player. Celtic responded that he is not for sale and that they are unable to sell him. There was definite interest from Fiorentina.

Fiorentina and fellow Serie A side Lazio are both considering a late move for Celtic's Auston Trusty. The Italian clubs have been monitoring the US international for a while but have increased their interest following his impressive displays in the Europa League. Celtic, who signed the 27-year-old Centre-Back from Sheffield United in 2024, are likely to resist any bids, especially with Cameron Carter-Vickers currently injured. The club has previously rejected offers for the defender from teams such as Spanish side Valencia. Trusty, who has 5 caps for the United States, has a contract with the Scottish club until June 2029 and a current Transfermarkt market value of €5.00m. This season, he has made 16 appearances in the Scottish Premiership.
