It appears Nicolas Kuhn is on his way out of Celtic.
The German winger was signed for just £2.8m in January 2024 from Rapid Wien and he went on to become a key player after a slow start.
Kuhn was electric last season as he scored 21 goals and notched 15 assists with Celtic securing the Scottish Premiership title and Premier Sports Cup.
As a result, Como registered huge interest in Kuhn and entered into transfer talks with Celtic to try and arrange a deal.
Well, according to Fabrizio Romano, an agreement between the two clubs has been struck.
Celtic’s Kuhn set for £16.3m transfer move to Como
Kuhn is on the verge of completing a €19m move from Celtic to Como, which works out to be approximately £16.3m for the Hoops.
Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano broke the huge news on Thursday afternoon, claiming the Premiership champions and the Serie A side have reached an agreement over a transfer fee.
Kuhn is reportedly now set to undergo a medical ahead of his move to the team managed by Spanish legend Cesc Fabregas.
Personal terms between Kuhn and Como are said to have been agreed in principle, with formalities then set to be thrashed out before the completion of the transfer.
Where Kuhn would rank in Celtic’s record sales
This is an absolutely fantastic piece of business for the Hoops, with fans more than happy for the club to cash in on Kuhn this summer.
Despite a terrific 2024/25 campaign, his form did drop off a cliff towards the end of the season, and perhaps he felt his ambitions lay elsewhere.
So for the Hoops to secure a £13.5m profit on the player is tremendous, and proves the club’s recruitment model remains extremely fruitful.
Kuhn would rank fifth in Celtic’s all-time transfer sales if indeed the Bhoys are paid £16.3m by Como. That would place him behind Matt O’Riley, Kieran Tierney, Jota and Moussa Dembele.
