Andreas Schjelderup is now more receptive to extending his Benfica contract after Jorge Mendes stepped in to represent him, with significant developments possible in the coming weeks.
Correio da Manhã reports that Mendes has recently taken over Schjelderup’s representation and has already spoken with president Rui Costa, a relationship that could ease talks over the winger’s future at the Luz.
On the club side, Benfica’s SAD intend to renew and are prepared to improve their previous offer, aiming to narrow the gap to the player’s demands without stepping outside established financial parameters.
On the pitch, the Norway international has recently returned to the starting XI and responded well, underlining his push to earn a prominent role under Marco Silva.
He finished last season strongly and then caught the eye at the 2026 World Cup with Norway.
With form trending upwards, a new deal is being considered at a positive moment, and Schjelderup appears increasingly open to the idea that staying at the Luz could suit his development.
