One detail puts Andreas Schjelderup on the verge of leaving Benfica | OneFootball

Andreas Schjelderup is getting closer to leaving Benfica's squad this winter transfer window. The likely destination for the Norwegian playmaker is Parma, an Italian football club, which is negotiating to secure the player's services through a loan deal valid until the end of the sports season.

Jurásek freed... Andreas Schjelderup

This operation only became feasible due to a crucial regulatory detail behind the scenes. The recent permanent sale of David Jurásek allowed for the release of an international temporary transfer spot at Benfica, which was previously filled. Without this prior market move, the young player's departure would have been bureaucratically impossible.

The Italian club expressed a strong desire early on to have the Nordic talent in their immediate ranks. However, Parma's management imposed as an essential condition that the deal be made through a loan with an option to buy, thus safeguarding a potential future investment in the athlete.

Benfica was asking between 15 to 20 million

There are still doubts about the exact amounts involved in this transaction. The value of the purchase clause is unknown and whether it will be mandatory. It is only known that Benfica aimed to gain between 15 to 20 million euros with Andreas Schjelderup, profiting from the sale of the winger.

This season, playing for Benfica, Andreas Schjelderup – valued at 14 million euros – played 21 games: 11 in the Liga Portugal Betclic, six in the Champions League, three in the Portuguese Cup, and one in the League Cup. In the 969 minutes he was on the field, the winger scored two goals and made three assists.
