# Jesper Karlsson transfer negotiations and move to Servette > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/jesper-karlsson-transfer-negotiations > Updated: 2026-09-07T14:00:50.000Z. Sources: 9. Developments: 3. Red Star Belgrade entered negotiations to sign Swedish winger Jesper Karlsson from Bologna. Karlsson, who has previously spent time on loan at clubs such as Lecce, Aberdeen, and Utrecht, was sought by the Serbian side to bolster its attacking options. Following the closure of the Italian transfer window, the move faced complications. Karlsson reportedly rejected a loan offer from Red Star Belgrade that included an option to buy. Negotiations were further hindered by his salary, as few clubs were willing to cover his full earnings of approximately one million euros net per season. While the Serbian transfer window remained open until September 18, Karlsson’s representatives explored opportunities in Turkey, the Netherlands, and Denmark. Ultimately, negotiations with Red Star Belgrade failed, reportedly due to concerns regarding “cultural acclimation.” Instead, Karlsson has joined Servette FC on a loan deal from Bologna, seeking more consistent playing time after struggling to secure a regular spot in the Italian side. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-07: Jesper Karlsson joins Servette FC on loan from Bologna Swedish winger Jesper Karlsson is joining Swiss club Servette FC on loan from Bologna to seek more regular playing time. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/jesper-karlsson-joins-servette-fc-on-loan-from-bologna ### 2026-09-03: Bologna FC players Jesper Karlsson and Nicolò Casale face transfer uncertainty Bologna FC's Jesper Karlsson has rejected a loan offer from Red Star Belgrade, while Nicolò Casale's transfer situation has been deferred until January. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/bologna-fc-players-jesper-karlsson-and-nicol-casale-face-transfer-uncertainty ### 2026-09-01: Crvena zvezda negotiating transfer for Bologna winger Karlsson Red Star Belgrade is negotiating the potential signing of Swedish winger Karlsson from Italian side Bologna to strengthen their attacking lineup. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/crvena-zvezda-negotiating-transfer-for-bologna-winger-karlsson --- Cite as: Jesper Karlsson transfer negotiations and move to Servette.
