Benfica set asking price for Andreas Schjelderup | OneFootball

Andreas Schjelderup finished the 2025/26 season on a high at Benfica and has now emerged as one of the most sought-after players in the Eagles’ squad. The 22-year-old Norway international earned more space in the team during the second half of the season, and his improved performances significantly increased the interest surrounding the winger.

According to newspaper A Bola, Benfica’s board is targeting a transfer worth no less than €40 million, even believing that the fee could rise if the player shines for Norway at the 2026 World Cup. His participation in the international tournament is seen as a clear opportunity to drive the player’s valuation even higher.

According to the same source, the player himself also sees this transfer window as the ideal moment to take a step forward in his career. Schjelderup wants to keep competing at the highest European level, and Benfica’s absence from the Champions League has a direct impact on that ambition.

It is worth remembering that the winger came very close to leaving the Estádio da Luz in the January transfer window. Club Brugge even submitted an offer in the region of €10 million, and the deal was practically done, with the player prepared to move to Belgium. However, his strong performances in the Champions League completely changed the course of events.

The Eagles’ No. 21 shirt ultimately convinced José Mourinho and grew in importance within the team. The Norwegian finished the season with 43 appearances, 10 goals and seven assists, numbers that have attracted the attention of several European clubs, including Barcelona.
