Rennes have reportedly held positive talks with Brentford over the sale of Kyogo Furuhashi.
The Japanese striker completed a surprise transfer to the French outfit from Celtic in the January transfer window, although the move hasn't worked out up to this point.
Furuhashi has played just six times for his new club so far, failing to find the back of the net.

He could be on the move this summer. It was reported earlier this month that Kyogo is 'expected' to leave Rennes, with Bournemouth interested in finding out the terms of a potential transfer.
Now, a new team from England's top flight has emerged in the race in the form of Brentford. Indeed, reports from Le Parisien [via RecordSport] claim that Rennes have held 'positive' talks with the London club regarding a potential deal.
Thomas Frank's side finished 10th in the Premier League last season.
Should he move to the Gtech Community Stadium, Furuhashi would link up with fellow former Celt Kristoffer Ajer, who joined Brentford in 2021.
Furuhashi played 165 times in green and white, falling 15 shy of the 100-goal mark.
His agent, Joel Pannick, opened up on his Celtic exit a few months back: "We had teams from all over the world express interest," he told The Sunday Times.
"There are certain markets where it would have been a very lucrative contract, but what sporting ambitions would realistically be achieved, particularly with the World Cup in mind in 18 months?
"Then we had to speak to Celtic to understand their perspective because a club has no desire to lose their best player halfway through the season."
