Amid initial doubts, Victor Kristiansen is winning hearts at Bologna, making the €15m investment in him this summer increasingly appealing.
Corriere dello Sport’s Thursday coverage sheds light on the defender’s journey, acknowledging his progress on the ‘right path’ towards securing the desired summer transfer.
Unhappy with his role under Enzo Maresca at Leicester, Kristiansen’s loan move to Bologna initially faced challenges. However, he has since flourished, emerging as a standout performer with three assists in his last five games.
Bologna’s recent successes, including four wins and a draw against AC Milan, underscore Kristiansen’s growing importance both defensively and offensively.
While not yet justifying his €15m price tag, Kristiansen’s impeccable execution of his duties has left coach Thiago Motta ‘satisfied’. Although the club still sees a ‘long way to go’ before triggering the buy option, Kristiansen’s impact suggests a promising future.
Should the 21-year-old maintain his stellar form and potentially propel Bologna to unexpected Champions League qualification, the prospect of investing in his talent becomes increasingly compelling.
