Benfica set asking price for Andreas Schjelderup | OneFootball

With the winter transfer market in mind, Benfica has already set the price it wants to receive for Andreas Schjelderup. According to gathered information, the Eagles are expecting to receive around 25 million euros to part ways with the Norwegian winger, who is currently with the national team.

As reported by the newspaper Record, the Club of Light intends to make some changes to José Mourinho’s squad and, by all indications, Schjelderup will be one of the ‘sacrificed’. Furthermore, the recent controversy involving the player may very well have influenced the decision from the Benfica management.

According to the same source, there is no shortage of interest in the footballer. As revealed by the sports daily, Benfica has attracted strong interest from clubs in the top divisions of England, Italy, and Germany, who are willing to sign Schjelderup on a permanent deal. However, there is a stumbling block: none of these clubs are inclined to pay the amount demanded by the Benfica management, that is, 25 million euros.

Although he feels comfortable at the Club of Light, where he has received strong support from the fans, the Norwegian winger does not rule out a possible departure from the squad. On the other hand, the sale of the number 21 could very well finance a new move by the Eagles in the market, as Benfica is looking to secure more reinforcements, namely two ‘pure’ wingers and a left-back.

The youngster was signed in January 2023 for 9 million euros. In the current season, Andreas Schjelderup – valued at 15 million euros – has played 17 official matches with the Sacred Mantle. In the 815 minutes he spent on the pitch, the number 21 recorded two goals and two assists.
