Celtic Set to Offload Star Striker as Stade Rennais Agree €12m Deal

Celtic’s Champions League victory over Young Boys on Wednesday evening may have marked the final appearance of star striker Kyogo Furuhashi in a Hoops jersey. According to reports emerging from France, the Japanese international is poised to join Ligue 1 outfit Stade Rennais in a deal worth €12m.

Le Parisien, Foot Mercato, and Ouest-France have all confirmed that an agreement has been reached between Celtic and Stade Rennais for the transfer of Furuhashi. The 30-year-old striker has been in impressive form for Brendan Rodgers’ side this season, scoring 12 goals and providing four assists in 32 appearances.

Furuhashi’s impending departure is likely to come as a surprise to Celtic fans, who have grown accustomed to the striker’s pace, skill, and clinical finishing. However, the arrival of a significant transfer fee will undoubtedly provide Rodgers with a welcome boost to his transfer budget.

Stade Rennais have been pursuing Furuhashi for several weeks, and their persistence has ultimately paid off. The Ligue 1 side are thought to have agreed a deal that will see them pay Celtic a fee in excess of €10m, with the exact figure reported to be €12m.

In a fascinating twist, Ouest-France report that Stade Rennais winger Jota is ‘close’ to returning to Celtic Park in a separate deal. The 25-year-old Portuguese international spent two seasons on loan at Celtic between 2021 and 2023, and it appears that he may be set for a return to Glasgow.

While the transfers of Furuhashi and Jota are reportedly being treated as separate operations, the fact that both deals are being negotiated simultaneously suggests that there may be a degree of cooperation between Celtic and Stade Rennais.

As the January transfer window enters its final stages, Celtic fans will be watching with bated breath to see how the Furuhashi and Jota deals unfold. One thing is certain, however: the next few days promise to be a thrilling ride for Hoops supporters.
