According to insiders, Rangers are keen to bolster their attacking options as they aim to close the gap on their Glasgow rivals in the Scottish Premiership. Furuhashi, who has been in scintillating form for Celtic this season, is reportedly a top target.
The Japanese forward has netted 10 goals in the Premiership and has become a fan favorite for his pace, clinical finishing, and ability to deliver on big occasions. His performances have not only caught the eye of Rangers but also of several European clubs.
Celtic Unlikely to Sell
While Rangers’ interest might be genuine, prying Furuhashi away from Parkhead will be no easy task. Celtic are unlikely to entertain the idea of selling one of their star players to their fiercest rivals. With Furuhashi under contract until 2027, any potential deal would come with a significant price tag.
Sources close to the player suggest that Furuhashi is focused on his current role at Celtic and is unlikely to consider a move to their arch-rivals. However, the allure of a new challenge and a potentially lucrative offer could complicate matters.
Unsurprisingly, the rumors have sparked heated debates among fans. Celtic supporters have expressed outrage at the mere suggestion of such a transfer, while Rangers fans are cautiously optimistic about the possibility of landing the Japanese star.
As the January window heats up, this story is one to watch. While a move across Glasgow remains highly improbable, Rangers’ ambition to make a statement signing underlines their determination to compete at the highest level.
