Celtic Plans Multiple Departures Including Kuhn, Nawrocki, Lagerbielke

Celtic is undergoing significant player changes ahead of the 2025/26 season, with multiple departures and new signings shaping the squad. Defender Maik Nawrocki is set to join Hannover 96 on loan, with an option for the German club to buy him, as he has struggled to secure a first-team place at Celtic. Meanwhile, winger Nicolas Kuhn is poised to complete a high-value transfer to Serie A side Como for around £17.2 million, a substantial profit from the £3 million Celtic originally paid; Kuhn chose Como over other suitors after personal assurances from Como manager Cesc Fabregas. Additionally, Swedish defender Gustaf Lagerbielke is expected to leave Celtic for Portuguese club Braga, reflecting a surplus of defenders in Brendan Rodgers' plans. To compensate for these exits, Celtic has already signed forward Benjamin Nygren and is preparing to add Japanese defender Hayato Inamura, aiming to strengthen the squad following a successful previous season. These moves highlight Celtic's strategy of developing and selling players for significant profits while reinvesting to maintain competitiveness.
