ZeeboiCeltic are already laying the groundwork for the next season, seeking both fresh talent and potential successors for players who may depart when the 24/25 campaign concludes.
Among those is German winger Nicolas Kuhn, a key figure for the Hoops this year, boasting an impressive tally of 18 goals and 14 assists across all competitions.
However, Kuhn’s time at Celtic could be nearing its end, with interest from various European clubs signaling a possible exit—a scenario that often unfolds swiftly for players in such demand.
Per TEAMtalk, Celtic have their sights set on Royal Antwerp’s Michel-Ange Balikwisha as a summer target, with the Belgian winger reportedly receptive to a move to Glasgow. He’s emerged as a prime candidate to step into Kuhn’s shoes.
The club made an approach for him last season, but Balikwisha opted to stay, sidelined by injury and focused on regaining full fitness before entertaining any transfer talk.
Now, circumstances have shifted, and Balikwisha appears ready to explore new opportunities come season’s end. With his contract entering its final year by June, he’s valued at approximately £4 million.
Given Celtic’s tactical tweak of repositioning Daizen Maeda centrally, the need for a dynamic winger has grown, making Balikwisha’s skill set an ideal match.
The young Belgian would undoubtedly enhance Brendan Rodgers’ squad, adding much-needed depth that has been exposed in major matches this term.
Celtic’s proactive approach to the transfer market underscores their intent to fortify the team for the challenges ahead, with Balikwisha among the targets. The question remains: will they secure his signature this summer?
