# Celtic: Kevin Campbell reacts to Ryan Christie transfer clause

**Sky Sports pundit Kevin Campbell thinks that Celtic may receive an extra £2m in the deal which took Ryan Christie to Bournemouth over the summer, according to [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/celtic-likely-to-land-2m-windfall-after-nixon-update-campbell/).**

### The Lowdown: Nixon’s claim

The 26-year-old left Celtic on deadline day, joining the English Championship club in a transfer which was thought to be worth an initial [£2.5m](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11743/12395778/transfer-news-celtics-ryan-christie-joins-bournemouth). However, according to The Sun’s Alan Nixon (print edition, p. 61, September 3rd), as cited by [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/celtic-likely-to-land-2m-windfall-after-nixon-update-campbell/), the Hoops will bring in an additional £2m for the Scot should the Cherries seal promotion to the Premier League this summer.

They currently sit top of the division after [11](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/championship/table) games, and Campbell – who regularly features on [Sky Sports](https://icdb.tv/stats/1212/Kevin-Campbell) – thinks that Ange Postecoglou’s side could receive that seven-figure sum.

### The Latest: Campbell reacts

When asked by [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/celtic-likely-to-land-2m-windfall-after-nixon-update-campbell/) if he expects Bournemouth to go up, therefore meaning Celtic would be owed £2m, Campbell said:

> “Bournemouth are looking good so it looks likely they’ll get it.
>
> “Extra money is always sweet, especially when it is a couple of million. A couple of million can go a long way at Celtic.
>
> “Get it in the coffers and see where you can spend it.
>
> “This rebuild is going to take a few transfer windows. They still need to strengthen. They need more players.
>
> “Celtic Football Club need to be challenging for the league. A couple of million can help them bring in a couple more players.”

### The Verdict: Fingers crossed…

Christie was into the final six months of his [Celtic contract](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/ryan-christie-burnley-transfer-option-24814682) when he left Parkhead, so it would be great business by the Hoops if they manage to bring in £4.5m in total for the attacking midfielder.

He was free to pen pre-contract terms with clubs outside of Scotland in the summer, so the initial £2.5m fee was better than nothing.

It appears as if it could get even better for Celtic, though, so Hoops fans should be keeping a close eye on how Scott Parker’s Bournemouth side fare over the coming months.
