Kyogo's Celtic transfer exit is edging closer after he was spotted boarding a private jet to depart Glasgow this afternoon. The Japanese forward looks set to join French outfit Stade Rennes. The Scottish Premiership champions will say goodbye to the fans' favourite in a £10m deal.
The news sent shockwaves through the Celtic support, and now Rennes manager Jorge Sampaoli has confirmed the rumours, suggesting that Furuhashi may even feature when they visit AS Monaco this weekend.
Celtic supporters have been having their say on Kyogo Furuhashi's expected move to Rennes, with Jota set to come back to Celtic from the French club.
Brendan Rodgers has revealed that Kyogo Furuhashi asked to leave Celtic several months ago - but is confident the club will emerge from the January transfer window stronger than ever.
Jota will be "an incredible addition" and Rodgers hopes to confirm the return of the Portuguese winger from Rennes "in the next 24 hours". Given the prior warning Celtic had on Kyogo's departure, the search for his replacement has been "ongoing" and Rodgers wants to come out of the January window with "a stronger squad".
