Kyogo breaks silence on 'great years' at Celtic as he seals £10m transfer to Rennes
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. While the striker was in France from Thursday to seal a £10m departure - the 30-year-old has finally got his move after winger Jota sealed a stunning return to Parkhead in a separate deal in the opposite direction.
From the whistle, reports out of France had the move escalating, much to the surprise of the supporters in Glasgow. However, the Hoops have sanctioned the switch and will net £10million for the 30-year-old, with Rennes wide man Jota sealing a stunning return to Parkhead in a separate deal in the opposite direction.
Kyogo has been a key player ever since his arrival in the summer of 2021 under Ange Postecoglou, and following his decision to leave said: "I'm really looking forward to getting to know Stade Rennes and my new team-mates. I hope to make a rapid contribution to the team's performances.
"After some great years with Celtic, I was looking for a new challenge in a recognised league. Physically and technically, the league is very competitive. The coach and the directors told me how much they wanted me to bring my qualities and experience.
"The club is not in the position it has been in for the last few seasons, and our objective will be to climb back up the league table. I feel ready to give my all with Rennes."
