Kyogo's move from Celtic to Rennes looks to have got off to a complicated start, with the French side sacking their manager. Fabrizio Romano claims that Jorge Sampaoli has been dismissed by the Ligue 1 outfit. Rennes have endured a poor season to date. They sit 16th in France's top flight, just four points clear of bottom side Le Havre.
Kyogo Furuhashi left Celtic for Rennes in a £10m transfer deal this week. The former Celtic striker made it clear that he needed to leave Glasgow to help revive his international career and it seems that Kyogo felt that a move to Rennes was the best way to do that.
Kyogo Furuhashi has completed his move to Rennes and as he opened up on his decision to leave Celtic. The striker helped Brendan Rodgers' men book a Champions League knockout spot with one game to spare in his final appearance agaisnt Young Boys - with reports over a move to the Ligue 1 side starting instantly following the full-time whistle in Glasgow's east end.
Kyogo Furuhashi has already broken a European record without making his debut for Rennes. The Japanese striker completed his move to the French Ligue 1 side on Monday, penning a two-and-a-half-year deal in Brittany, with winger Jota going the other way and making an emotional return to Celtic.
Jota spent one year with Al-Ittihad before an offseason move to Rennes, which has sold the Portuguese forward to Celtic for a reported 10 million euros ($10.5 million). Celtic got a reported 29 million ($30.5 million) selling him after his first spell in Glasgow.
The 25-year-old has completed his move from Rennes 18 months after leaving Celtic in a reported £25million move to Saudi Arabian side Al-Ittihad.
Jota (25) has left Rennes to secure his comeback to Celtic FC, both clubs have announced. The Portuguese winger has signed a five-and-a-half-year contract with the Scottish Premiership giants,
Celtic will pay less for Jota than initially believed, according to reports. French outlet Ouest France claims that the Parkhead side will shell out €8m (£6.7m) for the Portuguese winger, €2m (£1.7m) less than what was previously reported by Fabrizio Romano.
Celtic have seen Kyogo Furuhasi leave for France, but had already done some business of their own, bringing Jota back to the club.
The 30-year-old Japanese striker joined Celtic in 2021, netting 85 goals in 165 matches across all competitions.
After a delay in announcing that Kyogo had left Celtic for the Rennes, the Japanese striker is now officially a Ligue 1 player and no longer at Celtic Park. Rennes announced the purchase of Kyogo literally minutes after Jota joined Celtic and the news left many Hoops supporters heartbroken.
Japan forward Kyogo Furuhashi has joined Rennes from Celtic on a two-and-a-half-year deal, the French Ligue 1 club announced Monday.
