It was reported earlier this summer that the 20-year-old Danish centre-back Julius Berthel Askou was close to a move to Werder Bremen, but the transfer did not happen. He plays for Odense Boldklub, which he joined in July 2024, and his contract is valid until June 2027. The Denmark U21 international has 5 caps and a market value of €2.50m, according to Transfermarkt. FC Copenhagen have also been linked with him.
