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."

21 brilliant retro photos of Scotland fans at the famous 2-2 draw with England in 2017 at Hampden
Can you believe it has been eight years since Leigh Griffiths bagged those two unforgettable free-kicks for Scotland against England in the sun in front of a sold-out Hampden? 'I've not seen a football celebration in a ground like this for a long, long, long time,' remarked a crestfallen Gary Neville on co-commentary, as the then-Celtic forward fired two unstoppable free-kicks beyond the outstretched arm of Three Lions goalkeeper Joe Hart in the dying embers of the World Cup qualifier in Glasgow. The home crowd exploded into scenes of wild celebration that have struggled to be matched since. Griffiths sprinted around the Hampden track as if he was a 200 metres runner and, for a moment, the southside of Glasgow was the place to be! It is one of the most iconic games in the history of the stadium. Okay, so Harry Kane's even later leveller spoiled it a little, but let's not labour on that ... Were you there that day? If so, here are 21 of the best retro photos of Scotland fans during the famous 2-2 draw with England in 2017. Can you spot yourself in our gallery? 1 .

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ARSENAL could see their move for Benjamin Sesko sensationally hijacked by Al-Hilal - who want to sign the striker TODAY. The Gunners have made 6ft 5in Sesko their No1 target in the summer transfer window and last week approached RB Leipzig for talks. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Benjamin Sesko is wanted by Saudi Pro League's Al-Hilal Credit: Getty But the North Londoners - who have been told the Slovenian frontman will cost close to £70million - are yet to make an opening bid. Meanwhile, Saudi Pro League champions Al-Hilal are ready to turn their attention to the forward after missing out on Victor Osimhen. And according to Sky Sports, they could make their move TODAY to try and sign Sesko before the deadline to have him at the Club World Cup. The expanded 32-team tournament kicks off on Sunday - but players must be registered by 7pm TONIGHT.

Al-Hilal looked set to sign ex-Napoli star Osimhen - who spent last season on loan at Galatasaray. But the Nigerian international - who helped Galatasaray win the league - rejected a stunning £650,000-a-week deal from the Saudi champions. Galatasaray are now believed to be favourites to sign Osimhen - who scored 26 goals in 30 league matches on loan. 3 CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS Sesko meanwhile finished his campaign with 21 goals in 45 matches to catch the attention of Europe's elite. And he topped Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta's summer shopping list as the Spaniard looks to recruit a new No9. But Al-Hilal's deep pockets and desperate bid to take a striker to the Club World Cup marks huge competition for Arteta's Gunners.
