Urawa Red Diamonds are reportedly launching an ambitious bid to bring Celtic striker Kyogo Furushashi back to the J-League.

The hitman is a firm fan favourite of the Hoops having enjoyed a trophy-laden spell at Celtic Park since being brought to the Scottish Premiership by Ange Postecoglou back in 2021. He has continued to impress under Brendan Rodgers and played a key part in the domestic double achieved under the Irishman - but the Daily Mail report that a move could be on the cards claiming that "Urawa have placed Furuhashi at the top of their list" as they "look to build a team capable of winning the J-League."


It is claimed that the club are willing to break the current J-League transfer record to seal a deal - which currently stands at £10million. However, Celtic are under no obligation to sell with the 29-year-old striker contracted to the club until 2027.

But that appears unlikely to deter Urawa. It is claimed that they plan to test Celtic's "resolve" with a mega-money offer in the coming weeks. Urawa had signed Ola Solbakken on loan from Roma in January as they threw money around the top flight - but he now looks set to move to Malmo.
