Kristensen Completes Atalanta Medical: €22m Deal Agreed
Udinese defender Thomas Kristensen has arrived for his medical examinations at Atalanta, finalizing a transfer agreement valued at €22 million, with an additional €3 million in potential bonuses.
The 24-year-old Danish international made the move to Italy in 2023, joining Udinese from Aarhus for an initial fee of €5 million. After making 81 competitive appearances for Udinese, contributing four goals and one assist, Kristensen is set to continue his career in Serie A with Atalanta.
Multiple reliable sources have confirmed that the two clubs have reached an agreement for the transfer. The deal is worth €22 million upfront, with a further €3 million achievable through add-ons. Udinese will also retain a 10% share of any future sale of the player.
Sky Sport Italia's cameras captured Kristensen's arrival at the Zingonia training complex in Bergamo. He was seen greeting a young fan and offering a thumbs-up as he entered the facility.
Following his medical tests, Kristensen is expected to sign a five-year contract with Atalanta.
Kristensen has been brought in as a replacement for Berat Djimsiti, who recently departed Atalanta after a decade with the club to embark on a new chapter with Al-Diriyah FC.
