Celtic have struck a deal with Serie A newcomers Como to sell Nicolas Kühn in a transfer worth a reported €19 million, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The move, now in its final stages, will see the German winger head to Italy after just one full season in Glasgow. Kühn has agreed personal terms in principle, with a medical to follow before the deal becomes official.
The 24-year-old enjoyed a standout 2024/25 campaign, notching 21 goals and 15 assists in all competitions. His explosive form in the first half of the season helped propel Celtic to another domestic title and caught the eye during a memorable Champions League run. Kühn’s standout moment came against his former club RB Leipzig, where he played a starring role in a thrilling victory under the lights at Celtic Park.

Despite his success, it’s understood that Kühn had been eyeing a move away from Parkhead since January. The winger reportedly pushed for a transfer midway through the season, but Celtic resisted with the title and European ambitions still in play.
Now, with the summer window open, all parties appear satisfied. Kühn gets his move, and Celtic bank a healthy fee for a player who cost significantly less when he joined from Rapid Vienna. The deal reflects the growing ambition of Como, who are making waves in Italian football with high-profile deals and significant transfer spending.
Celtic supporters will now turn their attention to how the club plans to reinvest the funds. With Champions League qualification again on the agenda, fans will expect Brendan Rodgers and the board to act decisively in the market.
Kühn departs having made a major impact in a short time — a flair player who lit up Celtic Park and leaves with silverware and memories to match.
