Nicolas Kühn

Celtic have slapped a new price tag of £15-20million for star man Nicolas Kuhn this summer, sources have told Football Insider.

The Hoops are in a strong position with the 25-year-old under contract at Parkhead until June 2029.


Football Insider revealed on Monday (16 June) that RB Leipzig will have the financial muscle to do a dealdespite missing out on European qualification.

However, it is believed a final decision will be down to the player with Celtic potentially able to offer Champions League football – if they can navigate through their qualifying campaign.


RB Leipzig may also find a potential £20million outlay too hard to bear after allowing Kuhn to join Ajax in 2018 for a fee of around £1.7million.

In any case, Celtic stand to make a huge profit on the winger after spending a fee of just £3million to land him in January 2024.



Kuhn looks set to be the next big departure from Parkhead – following in the footsteps of club-record sale Matt O’Riley, who joined Brighton in 2024.

The ex-Rapid Vienna star hit 21 goals and notched 15 assists in the 2024-25 campaign as Celtic won the Scottish Premiership and Scottish League Cup.

He impressed against top opposition in the Champions League as Brendan Rodgers’ side were eliminated by Bayern Munich at the knockout playoff stage.

 

Tbh, I'd sell him now. I don't think he'll hit the same numbers again for us. So that's hits us on the field and off the field as he'll never command a higher fee than he does now.

I honestly don't think he's season as a whole will be difficult to replace, especially with the names that are being thrown about.
