Ryan Christie is allegedly open to rejoining Celtic. The Scotland international’s contract is available for renewal at the end of this season, and he is presently playing in the Premier League with Bournemouth, for whom he departed Celtic in the summer of 2021.
The Cherries and Christie have reportedly had fruitful discussions about extending the contract, although Celtic is eager to have the offensive midfielder return, according to a Team Talk report. Christie has made 85 appearances for Bournemouth this season, starting every game and dishing out one assist. His current stats are 6 goals and 10 assists.
During a prosperous era for the team, he made 151 appearances for Celtic, tallying 41 goals and 44 assists. It seemed that he wanted to give Scottish football a try, and Bournemouth provided the 28-year-old with a fresh way of life.
It will be fascinating to see, especially because Bournemouth is nearing the bottom of the table and his contract in the South of England is about to expire.
Though Rodgers might be a big fan of the player, it felt like Christie had reached its logical end. Christie is not likely to be going back to Celtic on this premise.
