Lazio, Napoli and Fiorentina are all reportedly in the running for AZ Alkmaar attacking winger Jesper Karlsson.

He turns 25 later this month and his contract with the Dutch side runs to June 2026.

According to Sky Sport Italia, the left-sided wide man is seen by Napoli as an ideal replacement for Hirving Lozano, as the Mexico international is widely expected to leave before his contract expires.

However, Calciomercato.it note that Karlsson has also been offered by his entourage to Serie A sides Lazio and Fiorentina.

Of the three, Lazio are rumoured to be in the most advanced negotiations to secure his signature.

The Sweden international has 11 senior caps, in which he scored three goals and provided one assist.

Last season, he made 33 competitive appearances for AZ Alkmaar, scoring 13 times and assisting on eight occasions.

Of course, Karlsson is not the only AZ Alkmaar player wanted by Lazio, as they are also in advanced talks for left-back Milos Kerkez.
