Kyogo transfer fate sealed as ex Celtic hero's staggering cost per minute at Rennes revealed
The Ligue 1 club are poised to cut their losses on the Japan international just five months after shelling out £10m
Rennes are poised to cut their losses on ex-Celtic hero Kyogo Furuhashi - after he cost them a whopping £83k for every minute played.
The Japanese striker's £10million January switch to France has been an unmitigated disaster after being frozen out of the team by boss Habib Beye.
The 30-year-old has made just six appearances since his money-spinning transfer five months ago - managing a combined total of 120 minutes.
Kyogo has yet to break his goal duck, too and it's a far cry from his three-and-a-half years in Glasgow, where he plundered almost a century of goals.
Now, reports in France suggest the former Hoops Treble winner is set to be shipped out this summer - costing the Ligue 1 club £83,333 for every minute he has spent on the pitch.
Sources in France state that Kyogo has interest from Bundesliga clubs.
He last featured for his club in the middle of April and has started just one game since arriving from Celtic.
Boss Beye automatically triggered a contract extension as manager when he secured Rennes' survival and Kyogo is unlikely to feature in their final league match of the season against Marseille this weekend.
Beye has indicated he only wants to work with players he sees as part of the future at the club.
He said: "The final games of the season will determine my plan for next season.
"We need to work with the players who want to stay at Rennes.
"You have to listen to the opinions of players who want to leave and you don't spend too much time with this type of player."

Michel-Ange Balikwisha in airport teaser amid Celtic links
It was reported earlier in the week that the Parkhead club had re-entered the race to sign the 23-year-old, with discussions underway regarding personal terms. Read more: Now, Balikwisha has taken to Instagram, posting a picture on his story with the location tagged at Nice Airport, writing, 'Here we go again.' Michel-Ange Balikwisha's Instagram story. (Image: Instagram/@mickeybali32) The Belgian has been a long-term Celtic target. Despite an injury-plagued 2024/25 campaign, Balikwisha still managed to conjure up four goals and three assists in 17 games for his club, Royal Antwerp. He spoke about his career to local Belgian media earlier in the year: "Without the injuries I have had this season, I probably wouldn't be at Antwerp anymore," said Balikwisha. "I suffered a meniscus in the 2024 winter transfer window. And last summer, Celtic, Lille and Lens came knocking, and I was out again at a bad time. I don't know whether I will leave this summer. The chairman and Marc Overmars will be in charge of that in the coming weeks. "How I end the play-offs will determine a lot. If I continue on this path with the way I am playing, things can go quickly. "If it turns out that my Antwerp story is coming to an end, then I hope to sign elsewhere in time, so that I can play a farewell match to the fans."
