Celtic earned a fee of €19m from Nicolas Kuhn's transfer to Como last summer. The deal has clearly not worked out and the player may soon join a new club.
sports witness His transfer to Italy was covered and there was much excitement surrounding the move from Celtic Park.
So far this season, the versatile attacker has played less than 800 minutes in all competitions for the Italian side. He has failed to fit into Cesc Fabregas' system, with the Spaniard preferring Mergim Vojvoda instead.
It is very different to the situation at Celtic. Kuhn played 1876 minutes in the Premiership last season, scoring 13 times and also assisting on nine goals.
Even in the 2023/24 campaign, he made an impact for Celtic by contributing four goals in nine games.
tutomercatoweb Now look at the German situation, which is once again uncertain.
kuhn will leave komo
The outlet believes Fabregas is now 'clear and definite' about his decision to part ways with the wide player, less than a year after arriving from Celtic. Como expected more from the player when they paid €19m to sign him.
The attacker's quality has also been questioned, with the Lakeside club unsure whether he can match their standards.
Como are currently in the Champions League spot and want players who can compete regularly in the competition. There is a perception that despite everything he showed at Celtic, Kuhn is not at that level.
In fact, the 26-year-old is proving to be a rare case of a player that Como could not really develop. They have gained a reputation for the contrary, with players like Martin Baturina now also having success in attack. Jacobo Ramon has become one of the best defenders in Serie A.
That is why Kuhn's position is proving to be a challenge.
Kuhn's fall from grace after Celtic is surprising
During his time at Celtic Park, the winger was one of the Hoops' most consistent players. He paid Rapid Vienna just €3.5m in January 2024 and his stature has risen very quickly – evidenced by how much he was sold for.

Although the current phase is disappointing, it is not the end of the world for the German. He is currently 26 years old and still has many years left in him.
It will be important to make a smart decision regarding his next club, where he will look for more playing time and continuity. Maybe Celtic might have a look.
