“Celtic Nears £2.8M Deal for German Winger Nicolas Kuhn Despite Strong Interest from European Clubs”

Celtic is poised to resist interest from German and Italian clubs as they finalize

the acquisition of Nicolas Kuhn in the upcoming days. The negotiations with

Rapid Vienna have progressed well, and a work permit for Kuhn’s move to

Scotland has been secured. Reports from Football Scotland highlight that

Kuhn’s decision to join Celtic is influenced significantly by the prospect of

working under Brendan Rodgers, despite considerable attention from other clubs.

An agreement for a £2.8 million deal is reportedly close, with the

transfer expected to be officially confirmed next week after some final

adjustments over the weekend. According to the source, Kuhn will not

be participating in Rapid’s winter training camp, and the Austrian

club is actively seeking a replacement.

Kuhn, a 24-year-old former German youth international with

previous stints at Ajax and Bayern Munich, has accumulated

51 appearances for Rapid Vienna. He is anticipated to strengthen

Celtic’s attacking lineup, competing for a first-team spot alongside

Liel Abada, Daizen Maeda, and Luis Palma.

FotMob data underscores Kuhn’s creativity as one of the most

adept wingers in the Austrian Bundesliga, with exceptional

crossing accuracy and dribbling skills this season.

Assuming a smooth transition without injury setbacks,

Brendan Rodgers will have four quality wingers at his

disposal for the latter part of the campaign.

Additionally, Celtic is reportedly interested in bolstering

other positions, with left-back and striking roles

identified as top priorities for potential additions.
