Simon Donnelly shares what he’s heard about the goal keeper search and Kyogo Furuhashi leaving Celtic

Due to the close season, Celtic supporters will have to put up with a lot of rumors about prospective departures from

present players and possible additions to the team by Brendan Rodgers.

We try to offer you all the most recent information on everything that is happening at the club, therefore this time of

year is perhaps the busiest for us on 67 Hail Hail.

In addition, a significant report that surfaced yesterday said that Celtic legend Kyogo Furuhashi would return to

Japan this summer. [The Scottish Sun]

The Japanese striker has been a huge hit since joining Celtic in 2021. With 73 goals in 133 games, organizations will

undoubtedly want to sign him. [Transfermarkt]

But it seems like this time we can put the rumor to rest. Let Simon Donnelly explain further.

Donnelly rubbishes Kyogo ‘source’

As with rumors in general, it’s critical to determine if the source of the information is trustworthy.

Every Celtic supporter is aware that there wouldn’t be enough time in the day to cover other club news if every rumor

regarding a player’s potential transfer were reported about.

For this reason, when questioned, Donnelly was very forthcoming in disclosing what he had learned regarding the originator of the Kyogo myth.

“In fact, I follow a guy on Twitter [X] who proved that earlier, said the source wasn’t reliable because I’d obviously seen that,” Donnelly said in a statement to Superscoreboard.

“You wouldn’t want Kyogo to leave.”

He still has a lot to give, in my opinion. It’s possible that he wasn’t at his best during the weekend.

“However, I think Kyogo should stay a little while longer.”

Look, everyone knows who the source is. For those who are unaware, a fast search on social media channel X will reveal the identity of the rumored journalist—an claimed journalist stationed in Japan.

I will let you determine whether or not the account is reliable, but I don’t think Kyogo will be leaving this summer.

The Japanese striker wouldn’t have agreed to a new four-year contract last summer if he intended to return home.

As I mentioned earlier, a lot of rumors are expected to surface. We’ll cover some, but not all of them.

There is little doubt that Brendan Rodgers will have a busy summer ahead of him.

RODGERS STEPS UP KEEPER CHASE

Joe Hart, who played his final game in the Scottish Cup Final at Hampden this past weekend, has announced his

retirement at the age of 37 after three incredible years at Parkhead.

The 31-year-old Benji Siegrist has not played at all this season and had a loan transfer to Sturm Graz, an Austrian team, fall through in January.

But the Swiss goalie, who signed with the Hoops as a free agent in August 2022 after leaving Dundee United, ought to finalize his departure this summer.

Rodgers’ only seasoned No. 1 will be Scott Bain, who made just one start during the double-winning season.

This will expedite the manager’s hiring process to increase his alternatives.
When his nine-year contract at Bundesliga Wolfsburg came to an end, Belgian international Koen Casteels was

suggested as a potential.
But according to a story in the Scottish Sun, the highly regarded 31-year-old, eight-time international hero has secured a

megabucks agreement with Saudi Arabian club Al-Qadisiyah.
Asmir Begovic and Liam Kelly, who are goalkeepers for Motherwell and Queens Park Rangers, respectively,

have both been linked to the Hoops when their contracts expire, but there is absolutely no chance that any of these players will end up at Parkhead.
Far more than just a goalkeeper, Fir Park netminder is much more likely to move to Ibrox while the Bosnian veteran is considering his options elsewhere.
