Man City Eyes Kyogo Furuhashi: Transfer Talk and Future Prospects
Recently, there’s been buzz surrounding Celtic's Kyogo Furuhashi and Manchester City’s potential interest in the Japanese forward. According to recent reports, City had seriously considered signing Furuhashi during the summer transfer window. The club’s recruitment team, looking to replace Julian Alvarez who was sold to Atletico Madrid, viewed the 29-year-old Furuhashi as a promising candidate. Discussions about Furuhashi’s move were part of City's strategic planning, although no deal materialized by the window's close.

Sources close to the situation have indicated that Manchester City’s interest in Furuhashi remains alive as the January transfer window approaches. Despite selling Alvarez and not bringing in a replacement immediately, City is not rushing to make a move. Pep Guardiola’s squad boasts several attacking options, including the prolific Erling Haaland, who has already made a significant impact this season with seven goals in just three Premier League games. Additionally, players like Phil Foden offer versatility in attack, reducing the urgency for City to sign a new striker in the short term.
Furuhashi, who has been impressive for Celtic with 74 goals in 137 appearances, is still seen as a viable option for Manchester City. However, his age could be a concern for the club’s long-term planning. At 29, Furuhashi is approaching the latter stages of his prime years, which might affect the club’s decision on whether to pursue him next summer or beyond.
As of now, City appears content with their attacking lineup and is not expected to make a frantic purchase in January. Nonetheless, Furuhashi remains on their radar, and a potential transfer could be revisited if City decides they need additional depth or competition for Haaland. For the moment, Celtic fans can breathe easy knowing that their star striker is still with them, but they should stay tuned as the transfer speculation is likely to continue.
