Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has been told he has one chance left to complete a €20 million transfer before the opportunity disappears for good.
The Glasgow side are seeking to strengthen their ranks ahead of the beginning of the new Scottish Premiership season in a month, with Celtic aiming to be competitive once again in the Champions League.
The Serie A club have already had a bid rejected for Kuhn but according to Gianluca Di Marzio are ready to return with an offer that is being billed as their “last attempt”.
The report indicates that if this deal is not successful, Como will turn their attentions towards AZ winger Jayden Addai, who is already scheduled to visit the Lombardy side this week to visit the city and training facilities.
Interestingly, Di Marzio notes that while the Italians will drop their interest in Kuhn for the moment, they could return to the deal later in the market.
Celtic set Nicolas Kuhn asking price
Although the Italian source has not made it clear what type of offer that Como have made for Kuhn, Celtic’s asking price is already known.
The Parkhead outfit want at least €17.5m for the 25-year-old, according to Der Westen, who reported the Glashow outfit’s winger was wanted by RB Leipzig earlier in the transfer market. Ideally, though, the Hoops are hoping to attract bids in excess of €20m for the player.
Kuhn has an Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) of €13.4m, with this having exploded from €1m over the course of his stay at Celtic.
