CELTIC have 'agreed' a deal to sell Nicolas Kuhn for a sum more than five times what they paid for him 18 months ago, according to a report.
After a few teething problems in the Scottish game, the winger proved a big hit as the Hoops did the double in his first full season.
In the first of the campaign, in particular, Kuhn was in electric form.
Amid a string of sensational performances, he scored a memorable double to down his old club RB Leipzig in the Champions League at Celtic Park in November.
While he couldn't quite recapture that sensational form in the second half of the campaign, there has been plenty of transfer interest in Kuhn.
Leipzig, the team he put to the sword earlier in the season, were interested in signing him.

But it's NOT the German giants who have won the race to sign him.
Instead, it's ambitious Serie A outfit Como, managed by ex-Arsenal and Chelsea star Cesc Fabregas, who are splashing the cash to get their man.
Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano reports on X that an agreement worth £17million has been agreed between the Italian club and Celtic.
Furthermore, he says Kuhn has agreed personal terms in principle, with the formal details the only thing left to be clarified.

It's been further reported in Germany that Kuhn REJECTED Leipzig and will head to Italy on a contract running until 2029.
While his former club Rapid Vienna are believed to take a small percentage of the profit on the deal, it still means a tidy mark up for the player who joined for £3m 18 months ago.
Como have been spending big this summer as they look to build on last season's 10th placed finish in their first season back in Serie A.
They broke their transfer record earlier this week to sign 19-year old Jesus Rodriguez from Real Betis, another winger.
They also spent big on Croatia international Martin Baturina, who joined from Dinamo Zagreb.
Kuhn will also link up with former Celtic teammate Alex Valle.
The left-back spent the first half of last season on loan at Parkhead.
But that deal from Barcelona was cut short to allow him to join Como on a further loan deal in January.
That move was made permanent last month for a fee of around £5m.
