His impressive performances under manager Thiago Motta in Serie A attracted a lot of interest, with the club seriously considering exercising the €15 million buy-out option in his contract.
The idea of acquiring Christiansen to fix Leicester initially seemed daunting at the beginning of the season. However, according to a report published by Corriere dello Sport on Wednesday, there has been a notable change.
Motta is said to be very impressed with Christiansen’s recent performances and his dedication. These factors have reportedly led Bologna to seriously consider making him a permanent move.
While the €15 million price tag remains important for Bologna, sentiment regarding Christiansen’s future is changing. His recent performance against Atalanta further strengthened the belief that he can and should be included in their long-term strategy.
The only thing missing from his game is the ability to score goals, a fact both Christiansen and Motta acknowledge. It’s a ‘small box’ that the Leicester loanee is hoping to try out in the future.
The coach, who has strengthened his defense, is aiming to make a major contribution on the offensive side as well. The next match against Inter Milan will be a great opportunity to prove excellence in both aspects of the game.
Leicester will definitely be monitoring the situation closely as an extra €15 million would certainly be welcome. This is especially true for players who previously seemed unable to meet Enzo Maresca’s demands.
