Stade Rennais has a new start with the final start of Kyogo Furuhashi, who joins Birmingham City in Championship. This decision is part of a series of recent departures from the club, following those of Lorenz Assignon in Stuttgart and Adrien Truffert in Bournemouth. Furuhashi, arrived last January, had few opportunities with the Breton club, participating in only six games for a total playing time of 120 minutes. His departure marks the end of a Rennes experience that did not meet initial expectations.

Kyogo Furuhashi’s arrival in Rennes was an initiative of Jorge Sampaoli, the coach at the time, and was validated by Habib Beye during his integration. However, the Japanese player did not manage to settle on the team for a long time, despite the efforts made to integrate him. His experience at Stade Rennais is therefore short and ultimately unsuccessful, leading to this new stage in his professional career.

The transfer from Kyogo Furuhashi to Birmingham City was formalized by both clubs without specifying the amount of the transaction. This start represents an opportunity for the player to find a new context where he can flourish fully. For Rennes, this is a strategic decision to reorganise the workforce and focus on more promising projects for the future.
