NICOLAS KUHN, who cost Como £17.2million when they signed him from Celtic a year ago, is on his way out of the Serie club.
The German winger has been placed on the transfer list after being axed from the club’s first-team squad, according to the Scottish Sun.
Kuhn has been a massive disappointment at the Serie A outfit and scored just one goal in a mere six starts in his debut campaign.
The 26-year-old flanker, brought to the Hoops in a £3million move from Rapid Vienna in January 2024, was axed by manager Cesc Fabregas from his matchday player pool for the opening-day 1-1 draw at Udinese on Friday.
POINT TAKEN…Nicolas Kuhn celebrates one of his 24 goals for Celtic.
There are reports Kuhn has attracted interest from clubs in his homeland as well as Austria, but Como will have to considerably lower their asking fee if business is to be done.
The skilful wide player made 69 appearances for the champions, scoring 24 times and assisting with 18.
In his second term, Kuhn hammered in 21 goals, including a double in the 3-1 Champions League win over RB Leipzig at Parkhead in November 2024 and was also on target in the 1-1 draw with Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena three months later.
That form saw his price sky-rocket and attract interest in the player.
Former boss Brendan Rodgers admitted the £17.2million switch to the Italians was a “a great bit of business” for Celtic.
