Oscar Luigi Fraulo (born 6 December 2003) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for EFL Championship club Derby County.

Early life

[edit]

Fraulo was born in Odense, Denmark, to a Danish mother and an Italian father.[3] He had begun 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.[4][5][6]

Borussia Mönchengladbach

[edit]

On 24 June 2022, Fraulo signed a four-year contract with Bundesliga club Borussia Mönchengladbach.[7]

On 23 August 2023, Fraulo joined Eredivisie side Utrecht on a season-long loan deal.[8] 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.[9][10]

Derby County

[edit]

On 2 January 2026, Fraulo signed for EFL Championship club Derby County on a three-and-a-half year deal for an undisclosed compensation fee, reported to be between £250,000 and £350,000.[11][12] Fraulo made his Derby debut on 11 January 2026, starting and playing the first of an FA Cup tie against Leeds United.[13] On 17 January 2026, he made his league debut in a 1–0 win at Preston North End as a 72nd minute substitute for Rhian Brewster.[14] After five appearances from the bench, Fraulo made his first league start for Derby County in a 2–0 win over Swansea City, playing 72 minutes.[15]
