Will Jankto find a new job? After Sparta he may return to Italy, Cagliari and Sampdoria interested in him

Jakub Jankt’s career is quite diverse. He was on a roll in Italy at one point, but after moving to Spain his form began to decline. In the summer, he took up an offer from Sparta, but even there it wasn’t the same and now he’s figuring out what to do next. He has offers and even quite tempting ones.

When he left Slavia Prague in 2014 and headed to Italy, many didn’t understand. In the Czech Republic, the more popular model is to show up at home and then go abroad. However, Jankto has shown that this path can also be the right one.

He put in good performances on loan at Ascoli and continued to do so at Udinese. After two seasons, however, he fell out with the club’s management and headed to Sampdoria, where he later picked up his performances again.

But in the summer of 2021 he made a transfer to Getafe and that was not a good choice. He played 14 league games in Spain, didn’t score a goal and in the summer he was looking at where to go to get his form back. He eventually chose Sparta, but even there he didn’t give the performance many expected of him.

He played 15 league games there, scoring one goal, but the spring affair ended his season prematurely. Sparta did not exercise the option and Jankto returned to Getafe. However, according to the latest information, he should not stay there.

According to speculations, the 27-year-old winger has many offers from Italy, with most of the talk being about Cagliari, led by coach Claudio Ranieri, who won the title with Leicester in the past and had a personal phone call with the Czech footballer.

It was at Sampdoria that they worked together for two years and it could be tempting for Jankt to build on that. Sampdoria should be another interested party, where he should be attracted by the fact that he knows the club and the environment.

Whether he will choose one of the offers is a question still unanswered. Another option could be an engagement in the MLS or in another, more exotic, football country.
