Furuhashi ready to leave Rennes for Birmingham City in summer

According to information relayed by the team and West France, Kyogo Furuhashi could leave Stade Rennais to join Birmingham City in Championship during the next summer mercato. This start is part of a strategy of debunking actively led by the Breton club, which aims to get rid of players whose integration has not been fully successful. This operation even concerns recent arrivals, such as Furuhashi, whose performance did not meet initial expectations.

The arrival of Kyogo Furuhashi in Rennes, simultaneous with the return of Jotta to Celtic Glasgow, did not allow the 30-year-old player to win as a key element of the team. He only played six games for a total of 120 minutes. This low level of involvement and general dissatisfaction with its contribution led to discussions between Rennes and Birmingham City on a potential transfer this summer.

The Rennes club could recover its initial investment of about 12 million euros, including bonuses, in this possible transaction. This transfer would thus mark the end of an inconclusive adventure for Kyogo Furuhashi in Brittany, and would be part of a policy of renewal and rationalization of the Stade Rennais player’s park. This would be a new stage in the player’s career, giving him a new start in a different championship.
