There are reports that Celtic’s Kyogo Furuhashi is on the verge of departing for a £10 million transfer. This news arrives shortly after he played a crucial role in helping the Scottish team advance to the Champions League play-off round.
Celtic achieved a 1-0 victory over Young Boys, with Loris Benito’s own goal sealing the win in the dying minutes. Despite Daizen Maeda’s late red card, they managed to secure the crucial three points needed to move on to the play-offs with 12 points from seven matches.
However, feelings were mixed as it was revealed that Kyogo might have played his final game for the club, being substituted in the 75th minute. Reports from France suggest that a deal between Celtic and Rennes has been struck for a £10 million fee.
It is believed that Kyogo has been a target for Rennes for weeks now, and the move to Jorge Sampaoli’s team is expected to materialize soon. Manager Brendan Rodgers stated that if a player expresses the desire to leave, the club should not prevent them and focus on getting the best deal possible.
After arriving from Vissel Kobe in 2021 for £4.5 million, Kyogo has been a fan favorite at Celtic, winning multiple league and cup titles and scoring a high number of goals each season. The departure of the prolific forward will certainly be a loss for the Scottish giants.
