İsak Vural (born 28 May 2006) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Italian Serie B club Frosinone. Born in Sweden, he represents Turkey at youth international level.

## Club career

[edit]

### Early career

[edit]

Born in Stockholm, Sweden, to a Turkish father and Swedish mother, Vural moved to Spain to start his career with Sant Cugat.[3][4] In 2013, he returned to his native Sweden to join Hammarby IF, and his performances for their youth teams attracted attention from Spanish giants Barcelona. However, after Barcelona failed to meet the residence and work permit conditions, Vural moved to Portugal to sign for Benfica in 2018.[3]

### Fenerbahçe

[edit]

On 28 February 2022, after four years in Benfica's youth academy, Vural moved to Turkey to sign for Fenerbahçe.[5] Due to his ability and high potential, he immediately started training with the first team squad, rather than the youth team.[6] On 19 April the same year, Vural made his unofficial debut in a 1–0 friendly win over Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk. In doing so, he became the youngest player to ever represent Fenerbahçe at 15 years, 10 months and 23 days old.[7]

### Hammarby

[edit]

On 4 February 2023, Vural returned to his boyhood club Hammarby on a one-year loan from Fenerbahçe, being part of their senior squad in Allsvenskan.[8] On 12 April the same year, he moved to Hammarby on a permanent transfer, signing a three-year contract.[9]

### Frosinone

[edit]

On 1 February 2024, Vural signed with Italian club Frosinone.[10]

## International career

[edit]

Vural is eligible to represent Sweden as his nation of birth, as well as Turkey or Norway through his parents.[4] He has represented Turkey at under-16 level.[1][11]
