Andreas Schjelderup continues to attract attention in the transfer market. After his strong performances for Benfica and his participation in the World Cup, the Norwegian international has once again been linked with a possible move away from the Estádio da Luz, with clubs such as Tottenham, Roma and Como keeping a close eye on his situation.

According to an analysis published by the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet, the 22-year-old winger is one of the Norway national team players most likely to be involved in a transfer during this summer window. Even so, the same report highlights that Benfica remain firm in their stance and do not intend to make the departure of one of their most valuable assets easy.

Bernt Hulsker, former striker and current Dagbladet pundit, believes Schjelderup's development has not gone unnoticed in Europe’s top leagues: "Benfica is a club that suits him well. They gave him a lot of responsibility, even more responsibility, and he became a star. That could easily tempt him. But I also think he is eager to take the next step now", he said.

Despite the growing attention surrounding the player, the situation remains unchanged at the Estádio da Luz. The SAD led by Rui Costa continues to view Schjelderup as a key part of Marco Silva’s project and would only consider discussing a possible transfer if an exceptionally high offer is made.
