Celtic has recently been at the centre of transfer speculation, with 24-year-old Nicolas Kuhn’s name surfacing as a potential addition to the team. The versatile player, capable of taking up positions as a right winger or striker, has been strongly linked with a move away from his current club, Rapid Vienna.
Despite the swirling rumours suggesting Kuhn might be headed to Glasgow’s east end this January, Rapid Vienna’s sporting director Markus Katzer has stepped in to quell the expectations. In a firm declaration of intent, Katzer expressed his belief that the club’s top talents, including Kuhn, are likely to remain with the team through the critical January window.
Speaking to the Austrian outlet Kronen Zeitung as cited by RecordSport, Katzer addressed the speculations head-on, stating, “I assume that everyone will be with us in the second half of the season, I haven’t heard anything to the contrary.” This comment suggests a strong stance from Vienna’s management, seemingly shutting down any immediate hopes of a mid-season transfer.
As the January window unfolds, Celtic fans will be watching for any developments.
While the prospect of acquiring a player of Kuhn’s talent is undoubtedly noteworthy, the latest comments from Vienna’s sporting director indicate that any potential move might have to wait until the summer, if at all.
The situation remains fluid, and only time will tell if Celtic can secure the services of Nicolas Kuhn to bolster their squad. One thing is for sure, Celtic need quality reinforcements and not just numbers
