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

Club career

Early career

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

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

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

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

On 12 August 2024, he made his Coppa Italia debut against Pisa in a 0–3 home loss. On 18 August 2024, he made his Serie B debut against Sampdoria in a 2–2 home tie.

Pisa

On 27 June 2025, Vural joined Pisa in Serie A on a four-year contract, with an optional fifth year.[11] On 25 September 2025, he made his debut with the team as a starter in a Coppa Italia 1–0 away loss against Torino.

On 28 September 2025, he made his Serie A debut as a substitute against Fiorentina in a 0–0 home tie. On 5 October 2025, he made his first league start against Bologna in a 4–0 away loss.

International career

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 after his transfer to Fenerbahçe.[1][12]

Some changes were made to the Turkey national football team, which will face Spain in the final match of 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification – UEFA Group E, due to injuries and suspensions, and Vural was included in the Turkey squad for the first time.[13]

Personal life

Born in Stockholm, Sweden, to a Turkish father and Norwegian mother.[3][4]
