Brendan Rodgers, the manager of Celtic, has recently confirmed two significant player movements that underscore the club's strategic approach to player development and financial management. Nicolas Kuhn, the dynamic winger, is set to join Serie A club Como, a move Rodgers describes as 'great business all round'. Kuhn, who has been capped by Germany at the under-20 level, joined Celtic from Rapid Vienna in January 2024. Over the past season, he made 41 starts and 10 substitute appearances, netting an impressive 21 goals.

Rodgers shared insights after a friendly match against Queen's Park, stating, 'We've virtually agreed between the club and Como, so it looks at this point that he'll be on his way, but we just have to wait for confirmation.' Reports suggest that Como will pay more than five times the £3m fee Celtic originally paid for Kuhn, highlighting the financial acumen of the Scottish champions.

In addition to Kuhn's transfer, Rodgers also revealed that Maik Nawrocki, the central defender, is moving to Hannover on a season-long loan. Nawrocki, a 24-year-old Pole, has struggled with fitness and consistency since joining Celtic from Legia Warsaw in the summer of 2023, managing only 18 appearances. Rodgers emphasized the importance of Nawrocki getting regular playtime, stating, 'Maik's never really consistently been able to stay fit and really take that spot. He's had a couple of years where he hasn't quite got the games that he would have liked. So it's important that he goes out and plays.'

These moves reflect Celtic's model of nurturing young talent and making strategic financial decisions. The club continues to be a hub for developing players who can make significant impacts both on and off the pitch.
