Nicolas Kuhn has officially completed his move from Celtic to Serie A outfit Como.
The Scottish champions will bank an initial fee of £16.5 million for the winger, according to Sky Sports.
This fee may well reach the £17.3 million mark through add-ons.
The German attacker departs Parkhead after just 18 months, following a standout campaign in which he scored 21 goals and provided nine assists across all competitions.
Kuhn’s form caught the eye of several clubs across Europe, but it was Cesc Fàbregas’ ambitious Como project that won the race for his signature.
The profit represents a significant piece of business for Celtic, who signed Kuhn from Rapid Vienna in January 2024 for around £3m.
The 25-year-old leaves the club on a high, having played a key role in last season’s Premiership title win. In his farewell message, Kuhn thanked the supporters for their passion and the club for the opportunity, describing Celtic as a place that “felt like home from the beginning.”
While Brendan Rodgers is understood to be pleased with the fee secured, he admitted the winger’s departure now gives Celtic a clearer run at recruiting replacements ahead of the Champions League qualifiers.
Celtic had been planning for Kühn’s potential exit, with moves hopefully already underway to bolster the wide positions in the coming weeks.
