Lazio and Fiorentina, both Serie A clubs, are considering making transfer offers for Celtic's 27-year-old Auston Trusty. The Italian clubs have monitored the US international for a period of time and have increased their interest following his impressive displays in the Europa League. Both teams are seeking options for the central defensive position. However, Celtic, who acquired Trusty from Sheffield United in 2024, are likely to resist any bids, partly because Cameron Carter-Vickers is currently injured. The club has previously rejected offers for the defender from other teams, including Spanish side Valencia. The defender, who has five caps for the United States, has a contract with the Scottish club until June 2029 and has made 16 appearances in the Scottish Premiership this season. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €5.00m.
