Worrying Kyogo Furuhashi Celtic exit rumor emerges

Kyogo Furuhashi has been a superstar for Celtic since arriving in the summer of 2021. He was the face of the Ange Postecoglou era, scoring 54 goals in two seasons under the Australian’s management, including in finals and Glasgow derbies. His numbers have dipped since the arrival of Brendan Rodgers as manager, but he remains a starter for the Scottish champions.

On top of that Kyogo is one of the most popular players Celtic have had in recent times. So most fans don’t want to see him leave anytime soon.

Yet the Japanese forward continues to be linked with a Parkhead exit. In the summer, Manchester City were rumored to be interested in him as a replacement for Julian Alvarez.

Now rumors are circulating online that Kyogo is approaching a move to Atlanta United. It remains to be seen how accurate the speculation is, but one can only hope it turns out to be wrong.

Atlanta United previously signed Giorgos Giakoumakis from Celtic and he proved to be a huge success in MLS before moving to Cruz Azul. Now the American club can look to repeat the trick with Kyogo.

To be honest, we never saw Kyogo at his best in Rodgers’ system. But even then, it would be a brave move to part ways with him mid-season, with the Hoops not having a better option up front.

Adam Idah was brought in this summer from Norwich City for a substantial transfer fee after an excellent half-season loan spell at Parkhead. But he hasn’t convinced enough to get the starting role, scoring 8 goals so far and mostly being used as a substitute.
