A couple of weeks ago, the Italian media had been commenting on how unlikely it would be for Bologna to buy Victor Kristiansen from Leicester City at the end of the season.
It was said that with the full-back failing to impress at the Serie A side, they weren’t expected to pay the pre-agreed €14m fee to buy him.
As Gazzetta Dello Sport now brings their own report on this case, they say Kristiansen should indeed return to Leicester City in the summer.
They start by claiming that the player’s form at Bologna has been improving, as he was decisive in the draw against AC Milan at the weekend, but it’s ‘still a lot of money’ to secure his permanent transfer.
That’s why Bologna are already looking for other options on the market, seeing if they find someone cheaper for his role.
This is absolutely no news among Italian clubs, as they often agree purchase options that they’d never trigger. That’s why it’d be no surprise if, in a few months, we see reports about talks with Leicester City to buy Kristiansen for a cheaper fee.
