Celtic Transfer News: Kyogo Furuhashi Return Speculation
Former Everton and Aberdeen CEO Keith Wyness has suggested that Celtic should consider re-signing Kyogo Furuhashi, who left the club in January to join Rennes. Furuhashi’s departure from Celtic Park was a significant blow to the club, and his struggles to make an impact at Rennes have sparked speculation about a potential return to Scotland.
Furuhashi’s Struggles at Rennes
Furuhashi has played only four times for Rennes since his transfer, and his failure to score has raised questions about his decision to leave Celtic. Wyness believes that Furuhashi was “badly advised” to leave Celtic and that a return to the Scottish Premiership club would be beneficial for both parties.
Potential Transfer Fee
Wyness has heard that Rennes would be willing to sell Furuhashi back to Celtic for a transfer fee of around £3.5 million. Wyness considers this to be a “no-brainer” deal for Celtic, given Furuhashi’s previous success at the club. Celtic’s manager, Brendan Rodgers, is likely to be interested in re-signing Furuhashi, especially considering the club’s current attacking options.
Furuhashi’s Impact at Celtic
During his time at Celtic, Furuhashi made 165 appearances and scored 85 goals. His pace, skill, and goal-scoring ability made him a fan favorite at Celtic Park, and his departure was met with disappointment from the club’s supporters. Furuhashi’s impact at Celtic was not limited to his goal-scoring ability; he also brought a level of excitement and energy to the team that has been missing since his departure.
Potential Return to Celtic
While there has been no official confirmation of Celtic’s interest in re-signing Furuhashi, Wyness’s comments suggest that a return to the club could be a possibility. Celtic’s current attacking options, including Jota and Daizen Maeda, have been impressive at times, but the addition of Furuhashi would provide Rodgers with another talented attacking player to choose from. The prospect of Furuhashi returning to Celtic Park will be exciting for the club’s supporters, who will be hoping that the Japanese international can recapture the form that made him a hero at Celtic.
