If you’ve been scouring the web for news on Kyogo Furuhashi since Celtic’s win over Dundee United, you may have stumbled across a surprising headline on the official MLS website.
The headline boldly claimed: “Atlanta United Acquire DP Striker Kyogo Furuhashi from Celtic FC.” Unsurprisingly, this raised eyebrows among both Celtic and Atlanta United supporters.

However, there’s one glaring issue: Kyogo was playing in Celtic’s 2-0 victory over Dundee United as the article appeared, swiftly quashing any suggestion of a sudden transfer.
The likeliest explanation? A case of mistaken identity from the MLS. Atlanta United earlier today Cayman Togashi, a Japanese forward with international youth-level experience. It seems the MLS website mistakenly swapped Togashi’s name for Kyogo’s, causing unnecessary confusion.
Further adding to the narrative that it was a mistake, the article linked to the headline leads to a dead page—suggesting a simple error rather than any breaking news.

While this looks to be nothing more than a clerical blunder, it’s a timely reminder of the ongoing chatter about Kyogo’s future. Speculation linking the Celtic talisman to Atlanta United has been circulating on social media over the past few days and perhaps played a part in the confusion, though no credible reports have emerged.
For now, there’s no indication that Kyogo is heading for the exit. The Japanese star remains a pivotal figure in Brendan Rodgers’ plans as Celtic push forward this season.
The striker is still considered Celtic’s number one frontman. Adam Idah has started the last two games for the club, but Rodgers always goes with the Japanese frontman for the big games.
