Jesper Karlsson is being considered by FC Twente and FC Utrecht, according to Corriere dello Sport. However, these clubs face competition from Royal Antwerp FC and KRC Genk in Belgium. Karlsson is available for a loan move from Bologna, where he has struggled due to injuries and strong competition.

Jesper Karlsson, who joined Bologna from AZ Alkmaar in the summer of 2023, is increasingly becoming an outsider in the Bologna squad. The club needs to find a new arrangement for him in the upcoming January transfer window.

Jesper Karlsson might leave Bologna on loan to gain more playing time and regain the form he showed at AZ Alkmaar, which led Bologna to sign him for 10 million euros. The club is open to letting young players who are finding less space leave on loan if a good technical proposal is made.

Jesper Karlsson has only played eight matches in rossoblù, starting in the first matches of the championship playing as a forward on the left in Motta's trident, then between injuries and benches he has not seen the field again. No goals, no assists. But in Bologna they are convinced of the qualities of the '98 class Swede, sure that the talent will come out. In the summer they made an investment of 11 million euros to take him from Az Alkmaar with which he had showcased himself in the European clashes, in particular against Lazio in the Conference League: three assists and a goal between the first and second legs of the round of 16. For many it was a great shot, Bologna's number 10 shirt and spotlights focused on him; but in Italy he did not settle in as expected, he is struggling to learn the language and has not yet fully entered the schemes of Thiago Motta.
