Last updated 24th Jan 2025
Brendan Rodgers has confirmed deals involving Kyogo and Jota should be completed in the next 24 hours.
Japanese striker Kyogo is in France ahead of a £10million move to Rennes.
Winger Jota is closing in on a sensational return to Celtic for around £9million - 18 months after moving to Saudi Arabia in a £25million deal.
Rodgers said: "He's obviously travelled for the medical. It's likely to be confirmed in the next 24 hours.
"It's nothing to do with the club, we don't want to sell one of our top players.
"Kyogo expressed interested to leave a number of months back and that got stronger.
"Sadly we have to do a deal and finalise that."
On Jota's potential arrival, Rodgers added: "It's not finalised yet but he's a player who would clearly be an incredible addition."
"Hopefully we can confirm that in the next 24 hours as well."
