Brendan Rodgers 'never took to' Manchester City....Kris Boyd floats

Brendan Rodgers ‘never took to’ Manchester City target Kyogo as Kris Boyd floats madcap Celtic theory

Former Scottish footballer Kris Boyd believes that Celtic striker Kyogo Furuhashi would be eager to join Manchester City if given the opportunity. Boyd thinks that the move would be a “no-brainer” for Kyogo, who would significantly increase his earnings and have the chance to play for one of the world’s top teams.

Boyd also suggests that Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers might be quietly pleased if Kyogo were to leave, as it would alleviate some pressure on him to start the recently signed Adam Idah. Rodgers has spent £9.5 million to bring Idah to the club on a permanent deal, and there is likely to be pressure to play him regularly.

Kyogo has been linked with a move to Manchester City, who are seeking a replacement for Julian Alvarez.

Boyd thinks that the deal makes sense for all parties involved, as Kyogo would bring top-class quality to City’s squad, and Celtic would receive a significant transfer fee.

Boyd praises Kyogo’s goal-scoring ability, citing his impressive record in big games and his ability to score against top-level opposition.

He notes that while Kyogo may not be on the same level as Erling Haaland, he has a proven track record of delivering in crucial matches.

However, Boyd also suggests that Rodgers may not have been entirely convinced by Kyogo’s abilities, citing times when he was left on the bench last season. With the arrival of Idah and other signings, Boyd thinks that Rodgers may be able to cope without Kyogo’s goals.

Ultimately, Boyd believes that while the move to Manchester City makes sense, it is still uncertain whether it will happen. He thinks that Kyogo will still be a Celtic player when they face Rangers next Sunday, but notes that the transfer window is full of surprises.
