Benfica set to offer new deal to one of their best players | OneFootball

Andreas Schjelderup is a truly sensitive case for the SAD led by Rui Costa. The Norwegian winger has two years left on his contract with Benfica, and a renewal offer was submitted — which the winger “ignored”.

Now, SIC Notícias reports that the Club from Luz is preparing a new contract extension offer for one of the key players in Marco Silva’s squad. The figures are not known, but the conditions are expected to be more attractive than those of the first offer.

It was recently reported that Schjelderup believes he was not properly valued by Benfica, despite the progress he showed during the second half of last season, a period in which he worked under José Mourinho.

The issue does not appear to be related to money. On the table was a renewal proposal presented by Benfica at the end of last season, with figures that could have reached 18 million euros gross over five years.

The Norwegian international’s representatives reportedly let the deadline to respond to the offer pass and had no intention of doing so in the coming months. However, Rui Costa is determined to keep the Nordic player at Benfica by presenting a new offer.
