Andreas Schjelderup 'signs with' Jorge Mendes as Benfica talks continue | OneFootball

Record writes that Andreas Schjelderup has signed with Gestifute, led by Jorge Mendes, becoming the latest Benfica player to do so after Gianluca Prestianni.

The shift arrives as president Rui Costa continues attempts to extend the winger’s contract, which runs until 2028, efforts that have stretched over several months.

The representation agreement was completed before Schjelderup departed for Norway duty, adding Mendes as a new participant in discussions while the player’s long-term future remains unresolved.

In June, Benfica’s SAD tabled a proposal to renew his deal through to 2031, but the forward has yet to deliver a response.

Even so, Benfica have not given up on an agreement and are prepared to improve the offer already on the table, with negotiations that could see fresh movement in the coming weeks.
