According to an analysis published by the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet, the 22-year-old winger is one of the Norway national team players most likely to be involved in a transfer this summer window. Even so, the same publication highlights that Benfica remain firm and do not intend to make it easy for one of their most valuable assets to leave.

Bernt Hulsker, former striker and current Dagbladet commentator, believes that Schjelderup’s development has not gone unnoticed in Europe’s top leagues: "Benfica is a club that suits him well. They gave him a lot of responsibility, even more responsibility, and he became a star. That could easily tempt him. But I also think he is eager to take the next step now," he said.

Despite the growing attention surrounding the player, the situation remains unchanged at the Luz. The SAD led by Rui Costa still considers Schjelderup a key part of Marco Silva’s project and will only consider discussing a possible transfer if an exceptionally high offer is made.

It should be remembered that Benfica have already presented the Norwegian international with a contract renewal proposal until 2031, seeking to reward the winger’s development and strengthen protection around one of the squad’s most highly valued players. Benfica’s resistance and the trust Marco Silva has placed in the winger mean that, at this stage, the continuation of the player in red remains the most likely scenario.
