Kuhn, a crucial member of the Austrian team and a former Germany youth international, is reportedly “keen” to join the Scottish champions.
According to reports, Celtic and Nicolas Kuhn of Rapid Vienna are in “advanced talks” to sign Kuhn.According to Sky Sports, the Hoops are getting close to agreeing on a contract that would allow them to sign the 24-year-old for just less than £3 million.
Upon his arrival from Bayern Munich in the summer of 2022, he signed a long-term contract worth £500,000, which kept him with the team until 2026.
Throughout his 22 Rapid appearances this season, the forward has three goals and seven assists.
In the past, Hoops manager Brendan Rodgers expressed interest in strengthening the Parkhead team’s offensive options in light of the calls to the Asian Cup for Daizen Maeda, Yang Hyun-jun, and Oh Hyena-gyu.
He said: “Obviously we have been trying to anticipate the guys over the last few months who are going away to the Asian Cup so clearly if Daizen [Maeda] and Kyogo [Furuhashi] are away then we would have to do something in the market.”
According to Gordon Strachan, Roy Keane was “not okay with it” when he told him he wouldn’t be a regular starter at Celtic.
After leaving Manchester United, the former midfield player concluded his playing career with Parkhead.
In his six months in Glasgow, he played 14 games and made his debut in the 2-1 Scottish Cup loss to Clyde. He would go on to win a League Cup and Scottish Premiership.
Furthermore, Strachan maintains that even though there was some initial awkwardness when breaking the news to Keane, the two are still friendly and had a nice connection. Keane was receptive during his time in Glasgow.
In an interview with sweep.io, he stated: “Roy trained with us a little before the transfer window due to his release from Manchester United, so he spent some time getting to know the guys before he signed.
Because you’re talking about a world-class player, Roy was a different story. I was astonished to learn that we may sign Roy Keane and felt it was fantastic.
“But I had a problem: I had [Neil] Lennon and [Stiliyan] Petrov in the heart of the park, and we had won so many games.
“The conversation started with us just staring at each other over the table, and I was genuinely so excited to have him at Celtic with me and I was never interested in the circumstances as to why he left Manchester United.
“So I was honest with him and I said, ‘Listen, it’s great having you here, but if I’m picking a team tomorrow, you aren’t in it.’
“Without hesitation, he said he was absolutely fine with that, even though I could see he absolutely wasn’t okay with that.
