Atlanta United Preparing £10m Bid for “Outstanding” Celtic Star Kyogo Furuhashi

Celtic FC may be bracing themselves for another significant departure, as Atlanta United are reportedly preparing a £10m bid for Hoops star Kyogo Furuhashi.

According to The Daily Mail’s reliable reporter Stephen McGowan, the MLS side attempted to make a move for the Japanese striker in the summer but were “offered no encouragement” at that point. However, they are now hoping that an improved offer could be enough to prise Kyogo away from Parkhead.

Losing Kyogo would be an enormous blow for Celtic, considering he has become one of the club’s most influential attacking players in recent years. The 29-year-old has scored 81 goals in 156 appearances for the Hoops, which is a superb return, also registering 18 assists for good measure.

Former manager Ange Postecoglou was also a great admirer of the striker, saying of him last year: “You look at him, the size he is and the players he is against, and he doesn’t shirk any of it. He puts the opposition under pressure, he’s so clever with movement and he wants to be front and centre when the opportunities are there. He was outstanding and has been from the moment he joined this club.”

Kyogo’s impressive form has not gone unnoticed, and it’s no surprise that Atlanta United are eager to bring him to the MLS. However, Celtic fans will be hoping that the striker’s head isn’t turned by the prospect of a move to the United States, instead preferring to keep the Hoops enjoying trophy glory for the foreseeable future.

Celtic’s Transfer Situation

The Scottish Premiership champions are already preparing for potential departures in the January transfer window. Left-back Alexandre Bernabei is looking increasingly likely to seal a permanent exit away from Parkhead, while Stephen Welsh could also be on his way out, with a loan offer from KV Mechelen on the table.

Nicolas Kuhn is another player who could be leaving Celtic, with the 24-year-old struggling with an injury that kept him out of last Sunday’s 0-0 draw at Dundee United. Brendan Rodgers confirmed that Kuhn is facing a spell on the sidelines, saying: “I don’t know how long Nicolas will be out for. Hopefully it’s not long term. He felt a problem with his knee and then he felt a twinge on Saturday.”

With several players potentially leaving Celtic in the January transfer window, the club will need to be proactive in the market to bring in suitable replacements. Losing Kyogo Furuhashi would be a significant blow, but the Hoops will be hoping to keep their star striker at Parkhead for the foreseeable future.

Conclusion

Atlanta United’s reported interest in Kyogo Furuhashi has thrown up a new challenge for Celtic FC. The Hoops will be eager to keep their star striker at Parkhead, but the prospect of a £10m bid from the MLS side may test the club’s resolve. With several players potentially leaving Celtic in the January transfer window, the club will need to be proactive in the market to bring in suitable replacements and maintain their trophy ambitions.
