Caroline signs with Inter Milan

Danish international striker Caroline Møller Hansen has inked her first contract abroad with an Italian side FC Internazionale Milano

Caroline comes after spending five very good seasons with a top club in her home country – Fortuna Hjørring. At just 21 years of age, she is moving to Serie A with three Danish Championships and two Cup titles won with Fortuna under her belt.

The sharp-shooter contributed a lot to the trophies won by Fortuna Hjørring during her period with them. She has been the club’s best goal scorer in 2019/20 and the 2018/19 seasons, and with 14 goals scored, she was the Elitedivisionen second best scorer in both years.

The outstanding striker has also performed well in the most recent UEFA Women’s Champions League campaign this past season, scoring 3 goals in 4 appearances.

Nominated for Denmark Women’s League Player of the Year Award 2019, Caroline has played on all the youth national teams of her country and has already earned two senior caps for Denmark in March 2020 at the Algarve Cup in Portugal.

This contract is a historic signing for both Caroline and the agency as it is Caroline’s first challenge abroad, she becomes the first Danish female player at Inter, and it is the first time that LTA Agency have concluded a deal with the historic club. By now, we have been very pleased as the agency to be able to count on cooperation with both Milan clubs (AC Milan and Inter), the current Serie A champions – Juventus, and a number of other well-respected clubs in Italy, which makes this country very important for LTA and the players represented by the agency.

LTA Agency wish Caroline all the best in this new step of her professional career.
