Jesper Karlsson, after a negative season, is not in the plans of Bologna and is looking for a new club. Genoa has shown significant interest in recent weeks as they search for a successor to Junior Messias, who is out of contract.

Genoa is interested in Jesper Karlsson, a 26-year-old Swedish winger who was bought by Bologna from AZ Alkmaar, where he made 89 appearances and scored 35 goals. Despite his potential, he struggled to find consistency at Bologna and was loaned to Lecce in January, playing 13 games and scoring once. Although he made some progress at Lecce, he did not achieve the expected breakthrough. Genoa sees him as a potential reinforcement for their attacking flanks as they aim to strengthen their squad.
