Premier League team may consider bringing in Kyogo from Celtic in the upcoming January transfer window.
Even after the transfer window shuts, speculation about players departing continues. It only reduces their quantity and how often they occur. The speculation surrounding a potential move to the Premier League continues to follow Celtic’s Kyogo Furuhashi. Not at this time. Is it possible for something to happen in January?
The news of Manchester City’s interest in Kyogo surfaced towards the end of the summer transfer window. It led to confusion, disbelief, and concern among the fans.
Julian Alvarez departed from Manchester City to join Atletico Madrid. During the summer, Kyogo was reportedly considered by the English champions’ recruitment team as a possible replacement.
Football Insider reported that Manchester City had thought about acquiring Kyogo during the summer transfer window. The player was asked about the move. He is still being considered for January, but the club is not in a hurry to make a decision.
Luckily, the transfer didn’t go through and Kyogo remains with Celtic. The team also agreed to a permanent contract with Adam Idah from Norwich City, and Daizen Maeda is available as a third choice center forward when necessary.
The narrative regarding Kyogo’s potential transfer to Manchester is far from concluded. Celtic supporters should remain vigilant. The Japanese forward engaged a new agent during the summer, and indications suggest that Manchester City has not entirely dismissed the possibility of a future acquisition. Kyogo appears to still be on their radar. However, there remains the consideration of whether his age aligns with Manchester City’s recruitment strategy, as he is set to turn 30 in January. Celtic would also demand a substantial transfer fee. Furthermore, one must ponder whether it would be prudent for Kyogo to spend his prime years as a substitute at Manchester City, even if such a scenario would yield numerous accolades.
