NafisaA report in The Sun has verified that RB Leipzig are keen on signing Nicolas Kuhn.
The 25-year-old spent time with Leipzig, Ajax, and Bayern Munich earlier in his career, but it was at Rapid Vienna where he established himself, securing a transfer to Celtic in January 2024.
Kuhn was in dominant form when Celtic defeated Leipzig 3-1 in the Champions League, scoring twice before half-time after the Germans had opened the scoring.
Since then, there has been speculation that Kuhn might return to Leipzig. In The Sun, David Friel reports:
NICOLAS KUHN is a £15million summer target for former club RB Leipzig.
SunSport understands the German giants are weighing up a megabucks bid for the Celtic winger.
Later on the report adds:
It’s understood several Bundesliga clubs are observing him, but Leipzig want attacking reinforcements after finishing seventh last season.
Is a £15m fee good value for Nicolas Kuhn?
Friel has a solid history of obtaining insider news from Celtic; in February 2021, he broke the exclusive news that Neil Lennon was stepping down as manager 10 hours before the Stock Market announcement.
Kuhn’s summer transfer has been anticipated by many supporters, but the long-term injury to Jota would leave the club lacking wingers with Champions League qualifiers approaching at the end of August.
Leipzig will miss out on European football next season after finishing seventh in the Bundesliga; Kuhn is under contract with Celtic until June 2029.
