Nicolas Kuhn’s Agent Quashes Ongoing Rumours

Nicolas Kuhn’s agent Christian Nerlinger has quashed speculation of a January move for the Celtic winger, despite reported interest from Premier League sides Fulham and Brentford.

Kuhn, who has become a standout performer for the Hoops, remains fully committed to the Scottish champions, according to Nerlinger.

Speaking to Record Sport, Nerlinger—himself a former Rangers player—highlighted the strong relationship between Kuhn and Celtic, praising the manager Brendan Rodgers’ role in his development.

Kuhn’s performances this season, including his exceptional display in Celtic’s Champions League win over RB Leipzig, have reportedly turned heads south of the border. However, Nerlinger emphasised that Kuhn is focused on his current role, pointing out the club’s developmental strategy that has already boosted his value significantly.

He said: “The speculation is not an issue for us. We have found a home for Nicolas at Celtic. We are not, never, walking out on Celtic without being together with the club because this success story was created by Celtic.

“I know from my time at Rangers it was very hard to get something out of the television rights, so of course they need to find these success stories – identify a player, buy him for £3million and sell him for £20-£25million – but we will do everything together with the club.

“We are very grateful for how Brendan Rodgers developed the player.

“Nicolas feels the power of this club. I was in the stadium against RB Leipzig and you see the quality of the team. I know that Nicolas has total confidence in Brendan Rodgers in developing him and making him a better player, and for me as a Business partner I have total trust in Michael (Nicholson, Celtic CEO) so we will take this step by step.

“Perhaps at some point there will be movement, but we will not pressurise things. It’s a massive season and we are really relaxed. We are just happy that Nicolas is at the right point, at the right time with the right manager who develops him. We are really grateful for that.”

Signed for £3 million in January of this year, the German winger is excelling on the right, bit contrary to reports, CeltsAreHere understands that there is not currently a valuation that Celtic have for him.

For now, Kuhn appears set to remain a key figure in Celtic’s domestic and European campaigns, as the Hoops aim to maximise his potential during this pivotal stage of his career.

He did sign a five-and-a-half year deal just 11 months ago, so he still could be at Celrtic for a good few years to come.
