Crvena zvezda has entered into negotiations for Bologna's 28-year-old Swedish left winger, Jesper Karlsson. The deal is described as not being close to finalization, as the player is currently only inquiring about the possibility of living in Serbia. Italian media reports from recent days state that the Turkish club Samsun has shown the most significant interest in the player so far in the transfer window. Karlsson, who has 14 caps and 5 goals for Sweden, is under contract at Bologna until 2028, having joined from AZ Alkmaar in August 2023 for a reported fee of €11.0M. Reports from August 2026 suggest Bologna would be satisfied with a deal that removes his wages. His current market value is €3.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
