She made her debut for the Italian club on 24 September, coming on as a substitute for Andressa Alves in the second half of a 2–1 league win over Fiorentina; in the process, she became the first 2006-born player to ever feature in the Italian top-flight.

In May 2023, she extended her contract with the club until 2026. In November of the same year, she received the Trofeo Promesa as the best young international talent at the third European Women's Football Gala in Barcelona, hosted by Mundo Deportivo. Throughout the 2023–24 campaign, she contributed to the victory of a second consecutive league title, as well as the Coppa Italia.
On 14 August 2024, Kramžar joined fellow Serie A club Como on a season-long loan.
On 3 February 2026, Kramžar joined Women's Super League club Everton on loan until the end of the 2025–26 season, with the BBC reporting that the contract included an obligation-to-buy clause. On 14 July 2026, she was announced at Everton permanently after the loan agreement was activated.
