Nicolas Kuhn has a ton of history with RB Leipzig. He was part of their youth ranks but never made it at the top level. Then, he came up against them in the Champions League last season, scoring a brace and guiding Celtic to victory. Now, the German winger is being linked with a return to the Bundesliga club.
Earlier this week, there were suggestions that RB Leipzig were weighing up a £15 million bid for Kuhn. Now, there is another update on the situation. One that will worry Celtic fans who want the German winger to stay at Parkhead.
As reported by Football Insider, RB Leipzig have the financial muscle to land Kuhn despite failing to qualify for European competition. Moves away from Benjamin Sesko and Xavi Simons could pave way for the deal.
It remains to be seen if RB Leipzig do end up making a push to sign Kuhn this summer or not. If they do, there is a good chance that it could materialise.
Worrying Nicolas Kuhn to RB Leipzig transfer update for Celtic
Kuhn might have struggled in the second half of the 24/25 season, but overall, he was one of Celtic's best players. In fact, he carried the team at times. He scored against Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig in the Champions League and the Rangers in the final of the Scottish League Cup.
So, it won't be simple for Celtic to replace a player of that quality. That is for sure. One can only hope that Kuhn decides to stay at the club for another season at least.
It might serve him well in the long run. It is clear that he has developed as a player working with Brendan Rodgers. The Northern Irishman has a long history of doing that with wingers. Now, he needs to discover consistency, if he wants to succeed in a top five European league for any length of time.
