Lazio and Fiorentina had also tracked the 23-year-old, who only cost Rapid £200,000 from Spanish minnows Cartagena last summer. But Jansson is now set to join Ligue 1 Nice after being given permission to leave his club's training camp in Austria.

Isak Jansson to Celtic transfer at risk of collapse as mega £8.5m offer lands from surprise third bidder
Celtic and Paris were the two sides credited but it now appears Nice have stolen a march French side Nice have barged into the bidding for Isak Jansson with an £8.5million offer which has blown Celtic and Paris FC's proposals out of the water. Rapid Vienna winger Jansson had been lined up as a replacement for Nicolas Kuhn, set to complete a £17m move to Como imminently, with the Hoops fishing in the very same pond they signed the German from 18 months ago. It had appeared to be fairly advanced with the player teasing Austrian reporters on Monday before being pulled from training by the Vienna club, who feared an injury could jeopardise a club record transfer. Celtic and Paris were the two sides thought to hold serious interest – but it's now emerged that it's Nice, and not either of the other clubs, who have come out of the blue with an £8.5m offer which was promptly accepted by Rapid chiefs. Jansson cost Rapid just £200,000 from Spanish Second Division side Cartagena last summer. However, his price has skyrocketed and Nice have agreed a deal with Rapid - which will be their record transfer sale - beating the previous £7m they received for Maximilian Wober to Ajax. The club stated: "After consultation with our sporting management, Isak Jansson has left our summer training camp in Freistadt, Austria, early. "The Swedish winger was given permission to leave for talks with a club abroad interested in signing him." And while both Celtic and Paris FC reportedly offered around £3m for the 23-year-old, Nice have plunged in with the massive bid. Brendan Rodgers was asked about potential signings after last night's friendly win over Cork City but wasn't giving too much away. 'There is lot of work going on in the background and things that are what we're hoping to achieve over the coming weeks," he said. 'We definitely need that there, especially at the top end of the pitch. But no, a lot of work going on but I can't confirm that there's anything there at this moment."
