Major League Soccer has apologized after saying Celtic’s Japanese striker Kyogo Furuhashi had signed for Atlanta United, when in fact it was his compatriot Cayman Togashi who had joined the club.
Atlanta has previously been linked with Furuhashi and on Wednesday, MLS posted an article on its website stating that the 29-year-old Japan international had completed a transfer.
However, the MLS side, who had teased a new Japanese signing earlier this week, announced that it was former Japan Under-23 forward Togashi who had arrived on a free transfer during the 2025 season.
“Major League Soccer’s website inadvertently posted an article naming the wrong player as a signing with an MLS club,” MLS said in a statement. ESPN. “The article was immediately removed and corrected. MLS sincerely apologizes to the affected parties.”
