Como, Kuhn not called up for Udinese: are Fabregas leaving him out? He is on the market, where could he go

The decision not to call up Kuhn has caused the biggest stir: he is now out of Fabregas’s plans and for him, as for the other excluded players, a solution is being sought on the transfer market. After a disappointing first season on the shores of Lake Como with 1 goal and 1 assist in 23 appearances (although only 6 as a starter), it should be remembered that the player has been dealing with a few minor muscle problems, which could explain why the club chose not to force an early return.

Having started against Paris FC in the first match of the season, Kuhn then watched on in Como’s subsequent games. The 26-year-old former Celtic and Rapid Vienna player was highly rated last season but then slipped down Fabregas’s pecking order and only saw the pitch sporadically. With the new arrivals and possible further additions in attack, Kuhn runs the risk of playing even less. That is another reason why his prolonged absences point to a possible falling-out and a transfer could be on the way. For now no offers have arrived for him, but in the final weeks a bidding war could break out for a player who is still very highly regarded around Europe.
