Stade Rennais is banking heavily on the signing of Kyogo Furuhashi to relaunch itself offensively. But the Japanese striker still needs to be officially introduced.
Jorge Sampaoli urgently needs some new blood and is waiting for Kyogo Furuhashi like the Messiah in Rennes. The Japanese striker has been the subject of a total agreement for his transfer from Celtic Glasgow for the sum of 12 million euros. A very popular player in Scotland, the Nippon nevertheless headed to Rennes this weekend. Welcomed by some Breton supporters, he has already had his medical examination and visited the facilities of the “Rouge et Noir” club. And yet, still nothing official on either side. Rennes is suspected of waiting for Jota to take the opposite path to be able to validate these two transactions, even if they officially have no link.
However, among Rennes supporters, we are starting to ask ourselves questions even though there is no time to lose, and Furuhashi has been in Rennes for two players without officially being a player. On social networks, Roazhon Park supporters are starting to wonder. “ I hope everything went well at the medical examination”, “it's starting to take a long time”, “he read the ranking and left », tried to understand the Rennes fans. The only reassuring element is that the Japanese seems to have met and made friends with his new teammates, as he suggests on social networks, a sign that everything seems to be going well for his arrival in Rennes in his eyes.
