Report: Nicolas Kühn Climbs Leipzig’s Transfer Wishlist

Nicolas Kühn is starting to turn heads in Germany again. The Celtic winger is now being looked at by RB Leipzig, a club he knows well from his younger days.

Reports from BILD say that Leipzig are thinking about signing Kühn, who once played in their youth team before moving on. Now, after showing strong form in Scotland, Leipzig might want him back.

Leipzig’s sporting director, Marcel Schäfer, is searching for a new winger. Kühn appears to be one of the names on his list. It’s not clear yet if Leipzig will make a move, but the interest is definitely there.

Kühn has been done reasonably well at Celtic since he joined in January last year. In just 69 games, he has scored 24 goals and made 18 assists.

One of Kühn’s best moments in a Celtic shirt came in a game against Leipzig. Celtic won 3-1, and Kühn scored two of those goals. It was a big performance in a big match, and it got people talking. It also showed Leipzig what they might be missing.

Even though nothing is confirmed yet, Kühn’s name coming up again at Leipzig shows how much he has grown as a player. He is no longer just a young prospect, he’s now a Champions League level player.

A move back to Germany could be tempting for Kühn. It would mean going back to a top Bundesliga side and possibly playing in the Champions League.

For now, he’s still a Celtic player with his old club watching, and his form staying strong, there may be some big decisions to come in the near future.

One thing is clear—Nicolas Kühn is making clubs pay attention, and that includes RB Leipzig.
