The 25-year-old Swedish winger, who joined Bologna last summer from AZ Alkmaar for €11 million, has struggled to find consistent playing time this season, making only seven appearances and scoring one goal. Lecce’s head coach, Marco Giampaolo, is keen to enhance his squad, particularly on the flanks where Patrick Dorgu has been playing out of position.
The deal for Karlsson is nearing completion, with the player set to undergo medical examinations before finalizing his contract with Lecce. The agreement will see him join the club on a dry loan until the end of the season, meaning there will be no transfer fee involved for Bologna. This arrangement allows Bologna to retain control over Karlsson while providing him with the opportunity for more playing time at Lecce.
