Premier League giants want to prise Schjelderup from Benfica | OneFootball

After a standout second half of the season for Benfica, Andreas Schjelderup is now being linked with several Premier League clubs, with English interest intensifying in recent weeks.

According to newspaper A Bola, clubs at the top end of the English league are keeping a close eye on the 22-year-old player’s situation. Along those same lines, there even appears to be a real possibility that a team already guaranteed a place in next season’s Champions League could move to sign the Norway international.

Although the Club sees the winger as an important piece for next season, the need to generate funds could open the door to talks if offers considered too good to refuse arrive. At the moment, Benfica are not willing to sell for less than €40 million for the ‘number 21’.

It should be remembered that the player’s market value has soared over the last few months. After coming close to leaving the Luz in January, Schjelderup ended up staying with the squad and established himself as one of the team’s key figures. His consistent performances significantly increased the interest of several European clubs, especially in England.

The 2026 World Cup could represent another opportunity for the Norwegian to raise his value. With a contract valid until 2028 and a release clause set at €100 million, Schjelderup currently stands out as one of the most valuable assets in Benfica’s squad and one of the names expected to shape the next transfer window.
