Schjelderup keeps ignoring Benfica, but Rui Costa isn't worried | OneFootball

It is known that Andreas Schjelderup has still not responded to the renewal offer put forward by Rui Costa and could leave Benfica in this transfer window. However, this tug-of-war is not causing any concern within the Club from Luz.

According to information from Record, there is no rush on the player’s side and the Eagles believe there is no reason for alarm. Above all because Schjelderup, who has a release clause of 100 million euros, is not in the final year of his contract.

The case of the Norwegian winger is different from that of António Silva. The centre-back received a renewal offer with one year left on his deal, did not accept it, and is set to join Bournemouth — although he will only say goodbye to the Reds after the match against St. Gallen.

The future of the Nordic player, who is already working at Seixal, remains open. The 22-year-old footballer is in high demand not only because of the second half of the season he had wearing the Eagle shirt, but also because of his performances for Norway at the World Cup.

In the 2025/26 season, for Benfica, Andreas Schjelderup — valued at 40 million euros — made 43 appearances: 28 in the Liga Portugal Betclic, 10 in the Champions League, four in the Portuguese Cup and one in the League Cup. In the 2,548 minutes he was on the pitch, the Norwegian recorded 10 goals and seven assists.
