Nicolas Kuhn Discusses Choice to Leave Celtic and Love for the Club

Celtic's summer transfer window has been notably marked by player departures, particularly the exit of Nicolas Kühn to Como. The right winger's move has created a gap in Celtic's squad that the club aims to fill before the season starts.

Kühn's departure process was intriguing; he had a strong start to the previous campaign but his form declined later. Celtic secured relatively good transfer value for him. In a recent interview, Kühn explained his decision to leave Celtic rather than stay another year, expressing his affection for the club.

Kühn stated: "I loved my time at Celtic. It’s an unbelievable club. It was difficult to leave, of course. I wasn’t there that long – it was 18 months. But everything happened quite fast and I enjoyed it." He described having "really special moments," felt his time "turned out pretty well," and acknowledged his initial plan was to stay for about two years. He expressed deep gratitude, calling it a "special time," and hopes to return to Glasgow as a fan in the future, mentioning he will see the team again soon.

While Kühn didn't detail a specific plan, his move appears to have been a temporary phase. Celtic now faces the task of replacing him short-term, acknowledging his talent will be missed despite inconsistencies. The €19 million transfer fee received for Kühn provides significant funds to aid Celtic in finding his replacement.
