Toro.it report the clause is a compulsory purchase option at four million Euros (£3.41m), and Jansson’s deal will go through shortly.
Italy’s transfer window opens only today (January 3), with the timing working out perfectly for Leeds.
Jansson has become a fan favourite at Leeds since signing on loan, acting as the catalyst for Garry Monk’s side hitting their stride in September and they have not looked back.

Torino have no plans to keep Jansson, with his time there blighted by injury. They currently sit eighth in Serie A, above the likes of Fiorentina and Udinese.
Central defender Jansson is one of several loanees at Leeds who they are hoping to sign on a permanent basis.
Pablo Hernandez, Hadi Sacko and Kyle Bartley have all played key roles since signing, with Matt Grimes waiting for his opportunity.
