2<\/p>\n Isak Jansson of Rapid Vienna could be on his way to Parkhead<\/p>\n SunSport understands that \u00a33m-rated Swede Jansson is one of those on Celts\u2019 radar after an impressive campaign.<\/p>\n The 23-year-old joined Rapid as Kuhn\u2019s direct replacement after his Parkhead switch in January 2024.<\/p>\n Jansson has been a standout in the Austrian Bundesliga over the last 18 months, and is now being chased by clubs across Europe.<\/p>\n Lazio, Fiorentina and Ligue 1 new boys Paris FC have all been linked with moves for the Sweden Under-21 cap.<\/p>\n Jansson hit nine goals and claimed six assists for Rapid last season as he helped them reach the Conference League quarter-finals.<\/p>\n Celtic boss Rodgers insists it\u2019s vital they get it right by replacing the players they are selling.<\/p>\n Kuhn\u2019s move to Como will be confirmed within days, and the Hoops chief is eager to land reinforcements as quickly as possible, with Jota also out injured until 2026.<\/p>\n Rodgers said: \u201cWith the likes of Nicolas, there was interest towards the end of last season. And then that followed through into pre-season.<\/p>\n \u201cThat means once we have the value that we think, they can go on and get away early.<\/p>\n \u201cWith Matt O\u2019Riley, we didn\u2019t get the value until late on. But what is important is you have to freshen the squad.<\/p>\n The diggers move in as Celtic Park pitch is dug up <\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m really pleased with some of the guys we\u2019ve brought in \u2014 and we need to bring in more.<\/p>\n \u201cWe will only sell if the valuation is met. Likewise, players coming in, we have to get the right players.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not just about getting players. We\u2019ve brought in some that can do really well for us, but we hope to do more.<\/p>\n \u201cAt this moment, it\u2019s really about getting the team ready and prepared and building the squad.\u201d<\/p>\n Jansson started his career with Swedish minnows Skene IF and Kalmar FF, before moving to Spanish Second Division side Cartagena.<\/p>\n Rapid signed him after his pace and dribbling stats were flagged up by their data analysts.<\/p>\n After an initial loan, Jansson moved to Austria permanently last summer for around \u00a3200,000.<\/p>\n His value has rocketed, and Rapid admit they will struggle to hold on to him in this window.<\/p>\n Jansson is right-footed and can operate on both flanks, but prefers to play off the left wing.<\/p>\n Speaking recently, he said: \u201cI know there are many teams at our games. I also know the teams that are interested in me and have contacted my agent.<\/p>\n \u201cBut I feel comfortable in Rapid as I am developing every day.\u201d<\/p>\n Read more on the Scottish Sun<\/p>\n Celts have also been tracking Antwerp ace Michel-Ange Balikwisha and Sarpsborg star Sondre Orjasaeter.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, stopper Maik Nawrocki has joined Hannover 96 on loan.<\/p>\n![\"Isak](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/msemail_GettyImages-2204396273jpg-JS1007821821.jpg\")
