Early life

edit

Fraulo was born in Odense, Denmark to a family of Italian ancestry. He began playing football at an early age for OKS, before moving to the Midtjylland academy at age 13.[1]

Club career

edit

Fraulo made his professional debut for Midtjylland on 10 August 2021, coming on as a substitute during the Champions League qualifying 1-0 home defeat against PSV Eindhoven, that saw the Danish club losing on aggregate, and therefore entering the Europa League.[3][4][5]

On 24 June 2022, Fraulo signed a four-year contract with Bundesliga club Borussia Mönchengladbach.[6]

On 23 August 2023, Fraulo joined Eredivisie side Utrecht on a season-long loan deal.[7] He scored his first goal for the club on 22 October, helping Utrecht to a late 4–3 victory against Ajax by chipping opposing goalkeeper Diant Ramaj in the 90th minute.[8][9]
