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."

PSG urged to sign £65m Arsenal star and Liverpool transfer flop
PSG have been told to raid Arsenal and Liverpool to strengthen a squad that just lifted the Champions League trophy. Paris Saint-German enjoyed a spectacular season under Luis Enrique, finally succeeding in their quest to become European champions while continuing to dominate in Ligue 1. Given PSG's young and incredibly dynamic squad, areas of improvement are not obvious but Marcel Desailly has named two players he would 'like' to see arrive at the Parc des Princes this summer. Football icon Desailly somewhat surprisingly believes Arsenal forward Kai Havertz should be PSG's No. 1 transfer target, citing his versatility as the main reason he would be of use to Enrique. Signed from Chelsea for £65m in 2023, Havertz has endured a mixed spell at the Emirates Stadium but was badly missed last season as Mikel Arteta had to deal with an injury crisis. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link we'll send you so we can get football news tailored to you. Havertz's status as Arsenal's first-choice striker looks set to end this summer as Arteta targets a new No. 9 with Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres heavily linked with moves to north London. Desailly believes Havertz would be the 'best transfer option' for PSG and has also urged the Champions League holders to rescue Darwin Nunez from Liverpool. The Uruguayan is expected to move on this summer following a largely underwhelming spell at Anfield and Desailly reckons he can revive his career in Paris. Like Arsenal, Liverpool are also interested in signing a new striker to strengthen Arne Slot's Premier League champions and are open to offers for Nunez. 'There are two players I'd like to see at PSG and one is Kai Havertz from Arsenal,' France World Cup winner Desailly told Oddspedia. 'Havertz is the best option because he can play as a midfielder but also as a point of reference up front as a striker. 'For me Havertz would be the best signing for PSG and the other is Darwin Nunez from Liverpool. 'Nunez is a point of reference and has great movement, he has been unlucky in front of goal but I think he'd do well in a back-up role for PSG. 'Those are the two players I'd like to see join PSG this summer.' While PSG look to strengthen Enrique's squad, a number of players have been linked with moves away from the French capital. More Trending Manchester United have reportedly been offered the chance to sign Portugal striker Goncalo Ramos while Gianluigi Donnarumma has also emerged as a target for the Red Devils. PSG beat United to the signing of Ramos two years ago but the 23-year-old has struggled for starts since arriving from Benfica. Donnarumma, meanwhile, has entered the final 12 months of his contract with Paris Saint-Germain and is believed to be interested in a move to the Premier League. The 26-year-old Italian reminded fans why he is rated as one of the best goalkeepers in the world during PSG's brilliant Champions League run. For more stories like this, check our sport page.

Cristiano Ronaldo begs for Lamine Yamal privacy as Barcelona prodigy feels the heat over reaction to trophy lift
Spain star Yamal was filmed walking away from Portugal's trophy lift but CR7 wants narratives to be quashed Pleading Cristiano Ronaldo has begged for Lamine Yamal to be spared the uncompromising glare which has followed him only minutes after the prodigy was derided on social media. Spain star Yamal was filmed walking away from Portugal 's trophy lift and appeared not to be clapping with the rest of his team-mates before making a sharp bee line for the tunnel inside Munich's Allianz Arena. But the 40-year-old – who netted the equaliser to make it 2-2 and secure a penalty shoot-out – has emotionally pleaded for the collective lens to go away and allow a talent he regards as generational to truly develop. The 17-year-old Barcelona superstar wasn't at his sizzling best in the Nations League Final as Ronaldo and Portugal survived some early blows before they came on strong. Ronaldo, speaking after his third international title win with Portugal in Munich, said: 'Lamine is going to win a lot of collective and individual titles. He's a phenomenon. "He'll have a long career and he's going to win a lot of Nations Leagues. "He's 17… Please, leave him alone. I have to ask you to let him be. He has to be calm' You can get all the news you need on our dedicated Rangers and Celtic pages, and sign up to our newsletters to make sure you never miss a beat throughout the season.

Jadon Sancho left sweating on Chelsea transfer as perfect Man Utd option emerges
Manchester United may have another avenue to facilitate a Jadon Sancho transfer exit from Old Trafford if Chelsea are successful in their bid to sign a winger this summer Chelsea could still hold the key to Jadon Sancho's future, even after deciding to not to make the Manchester United winger's loan move permanent. The Blues opted to pay £5million to the Red Devils in order to avoid signing Sancho after being unable to come to terms with the 25-year-old. And as Chelsea look at alternatives to reinforce their options on the wing, one could yet impact the United ace. The west London side are among those looking to secure a deal for Borussia Dortmund star Jamie Gittens. The 20-year-old is already said to have agreed a seven-year deal with Enzo Maresca's team as they attempt to persuade Dortmund of the move. Chelsea have already tabled a bid of £29.5million as they rush to get a deal done in time for the Club World Cup; the first part of the transfer window closes on Tuesday. Gittens scored 12 goals and made five assists last term as he lit up the early parts of the Champions League by bagging four goals in the opening five matches. The ex-Manchester City youngster still has three years remaining on his contract and a £50m release clause however. Crucially, Dortmund will require a replacement if Gittens does depart. Sancho could prove to be an option to arrive for his third spell with the club. The England international arrived at Old Trafford from Dortmund in a £73m deal and returned to the Westfalenstadion on loan in January 2024 after falling out with Erik ten Hag. Sancho has little future at United. Dortmund have asked to be kept up to date on any developments over Sancho's future, per reports, and are one of a number of clubs around Europe interested in a deal. The player's salary could yet prove problematic for United getting the player off of their books however and another loan could yet be looked at. Sancho helped Chelsea win the UEFA Conference League and qualify for the Champions League as he made 45 appearances. But his five goals and 10 assists reflected a steady season rather than spectacular one. Any move from Dortmund would likely first require Gittens exit. The Bundesliga giants are also looking to sign Jobe Bellingham from Sunderland with a £31m deal said to be agreed. Sporting director Sebastian Kehl has admitted that Gittens has drawn interest. However, the former midfielder has also warned the club are looking to reduce their wage bill. He said: "There's definitely a market for him [Gittens]. He's a very exciting player. We'll be having discussions soon. If offers come in, we'll have to deal with them." "We want to reduce wages," Kehl added. "That said, it's possible we'll continue with some of these players. But some may no longer be part of the BVB squad next season." Join our new MAN UTD WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Manchester United content from Mirror Football.
