From Star to Scar? – Kyogo Furuhashi Deeply REGRETS Leaving Celtic Especially After This Latest Event at Rennes

Kyogo Furuhashi’s Rennes Struggles Continue

Kyogo Furuhashi’s move to Rennes from Celtic has not yielded the desired results, with the Japanese forward being left out of the Ligue 1 club’s matchday squad for their derby match against Nantes. This is the first time he has been omitted from the squad since joining the French club in January.

Despite manager Habib Beye’s positive comments about Kyogo’s situation, the striker has struggled to make an impact, starting just one game and failing to score in six appearances. The £10 million fee paid to Celtic now looks like a questionable investment, especially as Rennes struggles to secure a top-half finish.

According to Ouest France, Kyogo’s omission is due to tactical reasons, rather than injury. This development raises questions about his future at the club and the possibility of a return to Celtic.

However, Football Insider reports that a return to Celtic would require “ideal circumstances” and that the club has “effectively moved on” from Kyogo. The signing of Jota from Rennes for a similar fee has further complicated the possibility of Kyogo’s return.

Kyogo’s struggles in France contrast with his successful spell at Celtic, where he scored 85 goals in 165 games. His departure was seen as a significant loss for the club, and his return would likely face challenges, including the success of Daizen Maeda, who has thrived since Kyogo’s departure.

The Rennes club’s financial situation is more stable after a busy summer transfer window, having sold players like Desire Doue and Enzo Le Fee for significant amounts. The £8 million received for Jota has also helped to offset the £10 million spent on Kyogo.

As Kyogo navigates his challenges in France, Celtic fans will be watching his progress, but a return to Celtic Park seems unlikely in the near future.
