Nicolas Kühn leaves Celtic for Como
Last updated 11th Jul 2025
Nicolas Kühn has completed his move from Celtic to Como for a reported £17m.
The German was attracting interest from several clubs in Europe, including RB Leipzig.
Kühn was signed from Rapid Vienna just 18 months ago for around £3 million.
He scored 21 goals in 51 games for Celtic, winning four trophies.
The attacker impressed in the Champions League and scored three goals in the competition last campaign, including the opening goal at the Allianz Arena against Bayern Munich.
Celtic have already brought in a potential replacement for the winger in the shape of Sweden international Benjamin Nygren.
After completing the signing, Como head coach Cesc Fàbregas said: “Nico is sharp, technical, and understands space really well. He brings creativity and intensity—qualities that fit exactly how we want to play. He’ll give us something different in Serie A.”
Kuhn added: “I’m really excited to be here. I had a long chat with the coach and I can’t wait to get out on the pitch, familiarise myself with the stadium and play in front of our fans.
"The decision was easy: the project is ambitious, and I want to be part of it, doing my best to help the team grow and achieve increasingly important goals.
"The city is beautiful — a real film set! I’m happy to start this new adventure in such a beautiful place”.
A post from Celtic on X read: "We can confirm that Nicolas Kuhn has today joined Italian side, Como.
"Everyone at #CelticFC thanks Nicolas for his contribution to the club and we wish him every success in the future.
"Thank you and good luck, Nicolas".
