Celtic star Ryan Christie’s contract with the club is set to expire next January and Nice has renewed its interest in the player after their £8m offer was rejected in January. This time one more Ligue 1 player has joined the race, AS Monaco. Leicester City had already thrown their hat in the ring and would have to battle Ligue 1 duo for the 26-year-old.
Brendan Rodgers has worked with the player during his time with Bhoys and wants to add him to the Leichester lineup along with Boubakary Soumare, who is heading for a medical soon. Leicester after consistently staying in the top four last season saw a drop in form in the end but secured a Europa League qualification even without Jonny Evans and Harvey Barnes. Christie has amassed 81 goals for the Scottish side in 142 games and would be a great addition to the Premier League side.
