Celtic are reportedly tracking Rapid Vienna winger Isak Jansson with Nicolas Kuhn on the brink of a move to Como. The Scottish Premiership champions are set to bank 拢17.2m for the move to Serie A just 18 months after Celtic splashed 拢3m to bring the winger to Glasgow’s east end. And they are set to return to the club they snapped up Kuhn in an attempt to bring in the wide man. The 23-year-old joined Rapid as Kuhn鈥檚 successor in the Austrian Bundesliga in January 2024 – and could do the same at Celtic Park this summer with a 拢3million price tag place on the Swede. The Sun report he is “on the radar” of the Scottish champions alongside Lazio, Fiorentina and Ligue 1 side Paris FC. Michel-Ange Balikwisha is on the Parkhead agenda with Celtic holding a long-standing interest in the 24-year-old. Gazet van Antwerpen report that Royal Antwerp remain in talks a over a move for the forward to Glasgow’s east end – and are looking for a “speedy” conclusion to the move to “cash in” on their prize asset. Brendan Rodgers admitted that a move to Italy is imminent for Kuhn – and urged the club to quickly reinvest the money with Champions League qualifiers looming. After the friendly clash with Queen’s Park, he said: 鈥淚 think it鈥檚 very clear, the model of Celtic. He鈥檚 come in and in the 18 months he鈥檚 done absolutely fantastic for us. He was aware of interest towards the end of last season and that sort of followed through. 鈥淥ther teams have joined in that interest over the summer and that鈥檚 why a lot of the young players come. It鈥檚 a wonderful, brilliant club to come to develop and improve. “And you can see within a short period of time, 18 months, he鈥檚 now getting the move that he wants. 鈥淗e鈥檚 done brilliant for us in the 18 months and, if he does end up going and signing at Como, then it鈥檚 great business all round.鈥 Rodgers is instantly on the hunt for more recruits with the early deal key as he continued: 鈥淵es, it鈥檚 exactly that. I think it really helps us.” Follow Record Sport on Twitter , Facebook and Instagram for all of the up-to-the minute breaking news, video and audio on the SPFL, the Scotland national team and beyond.
