CELTIC CONFIDENTIAL: Why Parkhead bosses should take the money for Kuhn and run... and why Swedish replacement Nygren could be an absolute steal
If RB Leipzig start waving a £15million cheque for Nicolas Kuhn under Celtic 's noses, the champions should take it without hesitation. Good luck to the Bundesliga club if they are willing to pay that money for a winger who was once on their books and think they can coax more consistency out of him than Brendan Rodgers did.

Time to 'cash in' on Kuhn - or 'crazy to sell' him?
We asked for your views on how Celtic should address Nicolas Kuhn's future amid reports linking the winger with a big-money move away from what some of you said:Mikey: I wouldn't be selling Kuhn for £15m. If the player wants to move on, let him go if he isn't happy at Celtic. But the fee needs to beat the last club record, £25m-plus. If we want to progress into the Champions League again, we need to be retaining our best players to get past the We've had half a season from him over one-and-a-half seasons. He can be fairly predictable and quiet in bigger games, and it seems he doesn't want to be here. With a replacement lined up, cash Recently it feels like his head is elsewhere. He can be such a good player, but to my mind he doesn't look very happy, maybe it's time for him to move Would be happy to cash in on Kuhn. He's been too inconsistent and the money being talked about is above what he's worth, compared to the consistent output of someone like Matt O'Riley. Great first half of the season, disappeared after January rumours of a move and saw some flashes towards the end of the season, but the cup final performance epitomised the frustration with He had a strong first half of the season and one man-of-the-match performance against Leipzig. The second half of the season he struggled to maintain his form. I would cash in, as around £10m profit on Kuhn will be a wise move and can be reinvested elsewhere. The next Daizen Maeda perhaps?Peter: Alongside Reo Hatate he is our only creative player, plus he scores as many as our forwards. Would be a huge step backwards to sell him. Lots of others we could do without, but not Celtic would be crazy to part ways with Kuhn. He's an electric player who has been a true workhorse. His best days are ahead of him.

Should Celtic cash in on Kuhn amid Leipzig links?
[SNS] It would not be a summer transfer window without one of Celtic's key men being linked with a big-money move away from Parkhead. RB Leipzig are the latest club to be linked with having an interest in winger Nicolas Kuhn, with a figure of £15m mooted. Advertisement Despite a dip in form in 2025, the 25-year-old still managed 21 goals and 15 assists across all competitions as Celtic secured a Scottish Premiership and League Cup double last term. Signed from Rapid Vienna on a five-and-a-half-year deal in January 2024, Kuhn still has four years left to run on his current contract. You assume that would mean Celtic will demand a significant fee for the German forward if he is to depart, but how would you address the situation? With reports suggesting new winger Benjamin Nygren is on the way, should the club look to cash in on Kuhn? Or is he too good to let go this summer? Send us your thoughts
