Benfica set Andreas Schjelderup asking price | OneFootball

Andreas Schjelderup finished the 2025/26 season on a high at Benfica and is now emerging as one of the most sought-after players in the Eagles’ squad. The 22-year-old Norway international earned his place in the team during the second half of the season, and his rise in form significantly increased the interest surrounding the winger.

According to newspaper A Bola, Benfica’s board is aiming for a transfer fee of no less than €40 million, even believing the amount could rise if the player shines for Norway at the 2026 World Cup. His participation in the international tournament is seen as a clear opportunity to drive up the player’s market value even further.

According to the same source, the player himself also sees this transfer window as the ideal time to take a step forward in his career. Schjelderup wants to continue competing at the highest European level, and Benfica’s absence from the Champions League has a direct impact on that ambition.

The winger was, it should be remembered, very close to leaving the Luz in the January transfer window. Club Brugge even submitted an offer in the region of €10 million, and the deal was practically done, with the player ready to move to Belgium. However, his strong performances in the Champions League completely changed the course of events.

The Eagles’ ‘number 21’ ended up convincing José Mourinho and grew in importance within the team. The Norwegian finished the season with 43 appearances, 10 goals and seven assists, numbers that caught the attention of several European clubs, including Barcelona.
