Isak Jansson, the Swedish winger currently playing for Rapid Wien, has emerged as an intriguing target for Italian clubs, particularly Lazio, as they look to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season. Following his impressive stint at Rapid Wien, where he has become a key player, Jansson's performances have not gone unnoticed.
Previously on loan from FC Cartagena, Jansson made his move to Rapid Wien permanent this past summer and has continued to produce notable performances. During the current season, he has scored five goals and provided four assists across 15 competitive matches. These statistics have drawn attention not just from Lazio but also from Fiorentina, which had reportedly shown interest earlier this season.
According to Expressen, Lazio has been keeping tabs on Jansson, making him part of their scouting reports to evaluate potential new signings. The Serie A club is currently sitting fourth in the league, demonstrating their competitiveness this season and their ambition to maintain or improve their standings.
Jansson's impressive form at Rapid Wien includes his ability to perform under pressure—especially considering he contributed significantly before suffering from a knee injury for part of the season. His season with Rapid Wien followed a loan period last spring, where he scored one goal and assisted another during 11 league matches. His development has been noteworthy, and he’s solidified his place within the squad.
With his contract at Rapid Wien running until the summer of 2028, any potential move for Jansson would likely require considerable investment. His previous experience at Kalmar FF, complemented by his international appearances for Sweden's U21 team, adds to his profile. The fact he is now attracting attention from multiple Italian clubs suggests he is viewed as one of the promising youngsters who could make the leap to one of Europe's top leagues.
While Fiorentina remains interested, Lazio seems to be pushing hard, utilizing their scouting resources to assess Jansson’s potential fit with their tactics and team environment. Given the player’s current form, it wouldn't be surprising if Lazio made a formal approach during the upcoming January transfer window.
Jansson's rise continues to be marked by both personal and professional growth on the field. With continuing reports of interest from teams like Lazio, he may well find himself facing new challenges soon, possibly on the bigger stages of Serie A football.
