MLS Issues Apology for Mistaken Announcement of Player Transfer

The league incorrectly reported Celtic's Kyogo Furuhashi had joined Atlanta United, later clarifying the signing was Cayman Togashi.

  • Major League Soccer mistakenly announced that Celtic forward Kyogo Furuhashi had signed with Atlanta United, a claim that was later retracted.
  • The actual signing was former Japan under-23 forward Cayman Togashi, who joined Atlanta on a free transfer through the 2025 season.
  • MLS apologized for the error, attributing it to a website mistake, and issued a statement extending apologies to the affected parties.
  • Confusion arose after Atlanta United teased a Japanese player signing on social media, fueling speculation about Furuhashi's involvement.
  • Reports last month indicated Atlanta had made a $12 million offer for Furuhashi, but he remains with Celtic, where he continues to perform strongly this season.
