Inter was one of several top Italian clubs interested in Udinese's 24-year-old Danish central defender Thomas Kristensen. Milan and Juventus were also mentioned as having an interest. Despite reports that many clubs in Italy are prepared to make significant offers for him at the end of the season, Kristensen has stated that it would be a dream for him to play in the Premier League.
The defender joined Udinese in September 2023 and is under contract until June 2028. He has made 10 appearances in the 2025/2026 Serie A season, scoring one goal. He has been capped 18 times for the Denmark U21 team. Throughout 2025, Udinese's asking price was reportedly between €15 million and €20 million, and a €15 million offer from Wolverhampton was reportedly rejected in January 2025. His current Transfermarkt market value is €9.00m.
