Udinese ask Brentford for Denmark international Roerslev

Udinese are said to be in advanced negotiations to sign Brentford right-back Mads Roerslev in the January transfer window.

According to Sky Sport Italia transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, the talks are focused on this being a loan deal, although there could be an option to buy added in at the end of the current campaign.

The 25-year-old received his first and so far only senior cap for Denmark in November 2024 and his current contract with Brentford runs to June 2026.

Udinese courting Roerslev

Purchased from FC Copenhagen in the summer of 2019 for a tiny fee, Roerslev has made 19 competitive appearances for Brentford so far this season, starting each of the last three.

He provided one assist and while playing as a right-back, can also work in a slightly more advanced role on the right side of a five-man midfield.

Udinese are currently ninth in the Serie A table under coach Kosta Runjaic after a strong start to the season.

They already added former RB Salzburg defender Oumar Solet to their squad as a free agent.
