Club career

Brøndby

Born in Glostrup, Denmark to Kurdish parents from Central Anatolia,[1][2] Corlu started playing for the Brøndby IF youth academy at age six, where his older brother, Azad Corlu, already played.

In June 2015, at the age of 17, Corlu was promoted to the first team.[3] He made his professional debut for the club a month later, on 2 July 2015,[4] starting on the bench, but replacing Lebogang Phiri in the 63rd minute in a 9–0 win over Sammarinese club Juvenes/Dogana in the Europa League qualification. He also scored the 8th goal of the 9–0 victory, netting in the 66th minute.[5] Corlu made his debut in the Danish Superliga a few weeks later, on 26 July 2015, in a match against OB. Corlu came on in the 67nd minute, replacing Andrew Hjulsager. A month later, in August 2015, he played a reserve match for Brøndby against FC Copenhagen, where he tore a ligament in his knee, keeping him out for the entirety of the 2015–16 season.[6]

Roma

On 1 August 2017, Corlu signed for Italian club Roma.[7] Here, he was initially placed in the under-19 team. After one season in Roma without any first-team appearances, Corlu joined Danish second tier club Lyngby Boldklub on a one-year loan deal on 5 July 2018.[8] In the 2018–19 season, he made 19 appearances and three goals as Lyngby won promotion to the Danish Superliga.[9]

Return to Brøndby

On 21 June 2019, Corlu signed with his former club, Brøndby IF, and was loaned out directly to Lyngby again, who meanwhile had achieved promotion to the Danish Superliga.[10] After an impressive first half of the 2019–20 season, Brøndby extended his contract one extra year, until 2023.[11]

Corlu returned to Brøndby on 3 August 2020.[12]

International career

Since his debut on 2 October 2012 for the Denmark national under-16 team in a friendly in Kladno against the Czech Republic, he gained a total of 37 caps for Danish youth national teams, in which he scored 15 goals.[13]
