Benfica open to selling Schjelderup, set asking price | OneFootball

Benfica are open to considering a possible departure for Andreas Schjelderup in this summer transfer window. The Eagles’ SAD recognize that the Norwegian winger finished the 2026 World Cup with a significant rise in value and admit that a transfer could happen, although they have already set the minimum amount required to let the player go.

The Eagles want to bring in around €40 million, a fee that could make the player Benfica’s biggest sale in this transfer window. The winger is one of the squad’s assets with the greatest room for appreciation, especially after the profile he built during the international tournament. The information was reported by Record.

Currently on holiday after Norway’s elimination in the quarter-finals of the 2026 World Cup, the 22-year-old has a contract with Benfica until 2028 and a release clause set at €100 million. Last season, he made 43 appearances for the Eagles, contributing 10 goals and seven assists.

The race to sign the winger is meanwhile expected to heat up in the coming weeks. Tottenham were the latest club to join the list of interested parties and will have to face competition from Liverpool and Chelsea, clubs that are also closely monitoring the player’s situation.

Schjelderup emerged from the 2026 World Cup with his stock very high, where he was one of the biggest revelations of the Norwegian national team. He quickly earned a place in the coach’s plans, becoming one of the team’s main attacking references.
