As per information on Transfermarkt, Furuhashi's current market value stands at £12m, a telling testament to his prowess on the field. His current Celtic contract has a term of 2 years and 7 months, set for expiry on May 31, 2027.
Furuhashi commenced his professional football journey in January of 2017, enlisting with FC Gifu in the Japanese lower leagues. Following 24 first team appearances and five goals in league matches, he moved on to bigger challenges. His next stop was Vissel Kobe in the J1 League; a transfer in July 2018 marked his leap from the Japanese lower leagues to the J1's more demanding space. This move cost Vissel Kobe around £140k. Over the consequent seasons Furuhashi's performance showed a steady uptick. From 2018 through to 2021, he made between 13 to 31 appearances per season for Vissel Kobe and scored 5 to 15 goals each season, all in league matches.

His tenure in Celtic, which runs up to the current 2024 - 2025 season, has demonstrated his ability to be a prolific goal scorer. From 20 to 38 appearances per season, he netted between 4 to 27 goals each season.
Furuhashi's participation in championship tournaments for Celtic adds another feather in his cap. During the Champions League 2023 - 2024, he scored two goals in six starts.
