Celtic Winger Nicolas Kuhn Reportedly Nears RB Leipzig Transfer

Nicolas Kühn, the 25-year-old winger for Celtic, is reportedly close to a transfer back to RB Leipzig for around £15 million, a significant profit for Celtic given their initial £3 million investment. Despite a dip in form in the latter part of the season, Kühn's overall strong performance with 21 goals and 15 assists has attracted interest not only from Leipzig but also Premier League clubs such as Newcastle United. However, Leipzig's pursuit is currently complicated by their unresolved managerial situation, which is delaying key transfer decisions. Kühn is keen to return to Germany to enhance his chances of breaking into the national team, though Leipzig's absence from European competitions next season and ongoing coaching uncertainty may affect the deal's timing. Some analysts, like former Celtic player Chris Sutton, question whether Celtic can command the £15 million fee and suggest Kühn might benefit from additional development time at Celtic. Other Bundesliga clubs are also monitoring Kühn’s situation, underscoring the competitive interest in the player.
