The Nicolas Kuhn transfer rumours hot up as Celtic continue to field interest in their speedy winger.
Kuhn has been the subject of weeks of transfer speculation after RB Leipzig and Newcastle show interest in the Celtic winger.
The 25-year-old is under contract until the summer of 2029 so if any teams do show concrete interest in the Celtic star they will have to pay a hefty fee.
With RB Leipzig cited with a £15m interest in Kuhn, it appears that the actual fee Celtic want could be significantly different to what the Bundesliga club are prepared to offer.

Celtic are ‘hoping’ to get more than £15m for Nicolas Kuhn
The fee being banded about right now for Nicolas Kuhn is £15m. However, a German media outlet has shared that what Celtic want far exceeds that figure.
DerWesten says Leipzig remain keen on Kuhn even after the appointment of Ole Werner as their new first-team coach.
The report says Celtic are ‘demanding’ £14.9m but are hoping to get ‘more than’ £17.05m for the Parkhead winger.
With interest in Kuhn high, it seems that Celtic could get the fee they want, especially when Premier League clubs enter the fray.

Celtic warned against selling Nicolas Kuhn
Celtic have been warned that selling Kuhn could prove to be a huge mistake this summer.
Hoops hero Simon Donnelly has told Celtic that selling a player of Kuhn’s calibre could bite them on the backside.
Donnelly said, “You can’t argue about his season and his numbers. There was a period where he was attracting a lot of interest because he was doing so well in the Champions League, scoring goals, performing well, and then I thought his form dipped a little bit towards the end of the season.
“But when you look from a wide player, I think his goals and assists were very, very good.
“At one point, I think he was pushing Daizen Maeda for Player of the Year. Maeda just kept going, he was consistent right through.
“I don’t know how I feel about it. Jota is going to be a little bit away through injury. I’m not sure. It’s one of those ones, careful what you wish for.
“Can you get somebody to come in and have that many assists and goals, right from the off? We don’t know.”
