Urawa has had a good relationship with Celtic since last yearš¤
Journalist Marco Molla - who has a track record with Urawa Red Diamonds transfer stories - claims the club want to take Kyogo during the off-season.Ā
Molla previously reported on Ola Solbakken's loan switch to the J-League side from Roma.
He adds that a "good relationship" with Celtic from last year could factor into the equation.
On X, formerly Twitter, Molla posted: "Urawa Red Diamonds hope to sign Celtic striker Kyogo Furuhashi this summer.
"Urawa has had a good relationship with Celtic since last year."
Urawa had previously had a bid accepted by Celtic for Giorgos Giakoumakis but the striker moved to the MLS instead.

It's claimed a home-grown player would be a top priority for Urawa Red Diamonds meaning Kyogo would be a top candidate.
With Kyogo tied down to a long-term deal at Celtic, it's likely a significant transfer fee would be required to sanction a move.Ā
The most expensive signing made by any Japanese club was Brazilian Jo who joined Nagoyo Grampus forĀ ā¬11million - roughly Ā£9.36million - in 2018.
The Scottish Sun state it's expected Urawa Red Diamonds would need to pay a record-breaking fee to land Kyogo this summer.Ā
However, with the club qualified for the 2025 Club World Cup they could bank a potential windfall of ā¬50m, or, Ā£42.5m
