Benfica have already strengthened the center of their defense with the arrivals of Clément Lenglet and Gabriel Índio and, now, the Eagles’ SAD intends to sign a left winger, the position Andreas Schjelderup plays in. Even with the possible arrival of a new player and market interest, Marco Silva has made a decision regarding the Norwegian.

Schjelderup is currently playing in the Club World Cup and the new coaching staff are awaiting his return with particular anticipation.

The investment to be made now will be directed toward this position, which recently lost Sidny Cabral. The Cape Verde international, whose spell at the Club of Light was largely underwhelming, left for Trabzonspor for 7 million euros.

Even with this need, the SAD led by Rui Costa remains committed to carrying out a careful transfer market. The Eagles do not want the season starting earlier than usual to force any decision. It is certain, however, that the race for the winger is getting closer and closer to the end, and a deal is expected to be sealed next week.
