Deco eyes Benfica regular as Barcelona target for the summer | OneFootball

Barcelona remain attentive to Andreas Schjelderup’s development at Benfica. The young Norwegian winger has been standing out for the Eagles and is on the Catalans’ list of targets to strengthen the attack next season, at a time when the structure led by Deco is looking for solutions for Hansi Flick’s squad.

The player’s recent performances have attracted attention in Spain. In the last few matches, the winger has confirmed his good form. In the draw against Famalicão (2-2), he once again stood out by scoring and providing an assist, reinforcing the blaugrana club’s interest.

At 21, the Norway international managed to turn around the situation he was facing at the start of the season. After being close to leaving for Club Brugge, he ultimately convinced José Mourinho and earned an important role, becoming an influential piece in Benfica’s system.

The player is under contract until 2028 and is protected by a high release clause, but Benfica are open to negotiating for lower amounts. Víctor Muñoz (Osasuna), Jan Virgili (Mallorca), Mika Godts (Ajax) and Abde Ezzalzouli (Betis) are other names on the table, according to 'Mundo Deportivo'.

This season, in Benfica’s service, Andreas Schjelderup — valued at €20 million — has already made 41 appearances: 26 in Liga Portugal Betclic, 10 in the Champions League, four in the Portuguese Cup and one in the League Cup. In the 2,374 minutes he has been on the pitch, he has recorded 10 goals and six assists.
