Celtic’s winger, Nicolas Kuhn, has been making waves with his impressive performances, catching the eye of English Premier League clubs like Fulham and Brentford. Former Celtic player and assistant coach, Johan Mjallby, suggests that Celtic should demand a hefty transfer fee of around £30 million for Kuhn if they decide to sell him in the upcoming January transfer window.
Kuhn’s stellar season with Celtic has seen him contribute significantly to the team’s success, with 10 goals and 11 assists across all competitions. His standout performance against RB Leipzig in the UEFA Champions League has only intensified the interest from potential suitors.
While Brendan Rodgers, Celtic’s manager, aims to maintain dominance in domestic competitions and make strides in European football, the interest in Kuhn is growing. Despite Rodgers’ desire to keep hold of the talented winger, reports indicate that clubs are keeping a close watch on the situation.
Mjallby believes that a bid similar to the £30 million Brighton paid for Matt O’Riley could sway Celtic’s decision-making process. He acknowledges Kuhn’s importance to the team but also recognizes that significant offers might tempt the club’s hierarchy.
In a recent interview, Mjallby expressed confidence that Celtic would do everything to retain Kuhn due to his impact on the team’s style of play. However, he hinted that an exceptional bid could potentially lead to Kuhn’s departure, possibly in the next summer transfer window.
As January approaches, the speculation surrounding Kuhn’s future at Celtic continues to grow. With interest from Premier League clubs on the rise, it remains to be seen whether Celtic will stand firm on their valuation of the talented winger or entertain offers that could reshape their squad dynamics.
