The Irishman is preparing to lose one man and welcome back another familiar face
Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers expects the deals taking Kyogo and Jota to and from Rennes to go through in the next 24 hours.
However, the blow of losing the Japanesse frontman is set to be softened by the shock return to Glasgow's East End of Portuguese star Jota. The winger only joined Rennes last summer but is on the verge of rejoining the Hoops in a £8.4million deal that is completely separate to Kyogo's transfer going the other way.
He said: “Kyogo had expressed an interest to leave a number of months back. Obviously then that expression becomes stronger and then it gets to this stage where he clearly wants to leave and we have to then do a deal and look to finalise that for him.
