Fabrizio Romano Confirms Manchester City’s Interest in Celtic’s Kyogo Furuhashi: A Potential Blow to Celtic’s Season
Renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Manchester City has held initial talks with Celtic regarding a potential deal for Kyogo Furuhashi. The 29-year-old Japanese striker has been in impressive form for Celtic, and it appears that Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City is interested in acquiring his services.
Romano revealed on Twitter that Kyogo is one of the options being considered by City as they seek to provide backup for Erling Haaland. However, it’s worth noting that Romano referred to Kyogo as a winger, which seems unlikely given his primary position as a striker. This misunderstanding has sparked debate among fans, with many questioning whether Kyogo’s playing style would be a good fit for City’s system.
This development comes after earlier reports from The Celtic Star and The Athletic suggested that Kyogo was on City’s radar. The interest from City could pose a significant challenge for Celtic, particularly at this stage in the transfer window. Losing a key player like Kyogo could have far-reaching consequences for Celtic’s season, potentially impacting their performance in both domestic and European competitions.
Kyogo recently switched agents to CAA Base, which has sparked concerns among Celtic supporters, given the agency’s involvement in Ange Postecoglou’s move to Tottenham Hotspur. This change has led to speculation about Kyogo’s future, with some fans worrying that he may be tempted by a move to the Premier League.
Celtic fans will be anxious to see how this situation unfolds, with many hoping that Kyogo will remain at Paradise for the foreseeable future. The potential departure of such a key player could have significant implications for Celtic’s season, and fans will be watching closely to see how the club responds to City’s interest.
As the transfer window enters its final stages, Celtic will need to act quickly to address any potential departures and bring in suitable replacements. The club’s ability to retain its top players and attract new talent will be crucial in determining their success this season.
