Schjelderup breaks silence on Benfica renewal reports: Please… | OneFootball

Andreas Schjelderup publicly reacted to the report claiming that the Norwegian forward was allegedly unwilling to renew his contract with Benfica.The 22-year-old player took to social media to deny the information and left a strong message:

According to information reported by Record, 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 same publication assures that the issue is not related to the financial factor. On the table is a renewal proposal presented by Benfica at the end of last season, with figures that could reach 18 million euros gross over five years.

According to Record, the representatives of the Norwegian international allowed the deadline to respond to the proposal to pass and had no intention of doing so in the coming months. However, Schjelderup's reaction now calls this version of events into question and makes the player's position regarding the published information clear.

On Benfica's side, the desire to extend ties with the young attacker remains. The club's hierarchy continues to regard Schjelderup as an important piece for the future and is said to have rejected offers that did not exceed 45 million euros, including bonuses, on the grounds that they fell below the player's current value.

Thus, Schjelderup came forward publicly to categorically reject the version that was reported, promising a response that could once again put the future of the Norwegian international at the center of attention.
