It is anticipated that Nicolas Kuhn from Rapid Vienna would sign a €3.5 million contract with Celtic. As the deal approaches completion, the player will not be included in the squad to play Wiener SC in a friendly.
It is anticipated that verbal agreement has been reached over the final details of the deal, which is anticipated to cost £3 million plus add-ons.
The footballer is reportedly keen to join and is awaiting approval before agreeing to a four-year contract.
To add talent to his attacking third, Rodgers has been in talks with Rapid for the 24-year-old, and Celtic is one of the parties involved. With Daizen Maeda and Oh away for the Asia Cup, Rodgers will want to get his club firing on all cylinders for the second half of the season.
Kühn began his career in the development program at St. Pauli, then transferred to Hannover, RB Leipzig, and finally Ajax in 2020 for a €2 million transfer.
The fact that Wyscout ranked Kühn among the top 12 “chance creators” in international football will have piqued the interest of Celtic’s recruitment squad in their pursuit of signing the erstwhile prodigy. The attacker has three goals and seven assists in 22 games this season, and Celtic is interested in his scoring performance. Kühn signed with Rapid for £500k in the summer of 2022, however his estimated worth is upwards of €3.5 million.
