Celtic manager Rodgers unfazed by Manchester City's interest in Furuhashi

The Japan international player has been rumored to be a potential target for City as they look to fill the void left by Julian Alvarez's departure to Atletico Madrid and provide cover for Erling Haaland.

But Rodgers insists: "Naturally it comes and we just deal with it.

"But there’s been nothing from Man City. It’s obviously rumour and gossip.

"I haven’t spoken to him directly on that. If I was speaking to every player around gossip and speculation, I would be 24 hours a day.

"It’s of no interest to me. My focus is very much here with Celtic and preparing the team for the game at the weekend.

"Most importantly for me is he is now back feeling comfortable on the grass. He has been brilliant in training the last couple of days and he will be available for the weekend."
