Alert, Benfica! Mourinho star makes international headlines | OneFootball

The interest in Andreas Schjelderup continues to make headlines in Spain, more specifically in Catalonia. In the last day, the winger, who has been standing out at Benfica, made the front page of the Catalan press, which insisted that the Nordic player is 'very popular' with Barcelona.

Meanwhile, daily newspaper Sport went a step further and gave Benfica’s winger even more prominence, putting him on the cover of its edition and stating that Barcelona are increasingly determined to move forward with the possible signing of the 21-year-old footballer.

Sport reports that Andreas Schjelderup is seen by the board led by Joan Laporta as a strong alternative to pursue if the deal for Marcus Rashford does not go through, since the Englishman is only on loan from Manchester United. The same source adds that the Nordic player has been on the blaugrana radar since the clash with Benfica at the Estádio da Luz, where the culés won 5-4.

At the moment, Barcelona’s interest is no longer news to anyone in the football world. Although there is still no confirmation regarding the Catalan giant’s position on Benfica’s winger, Schjelderup, in an interview with TV2, did not hide his excitement at the possibility that the news might be true.

This season for Benfica, Andreas Schjelderup — valued at €14 million — has already made a total of 36 official appearances: 21 in Liga Portugal Betclic, 10 in the Champions League, four in the Portuguese Cup, and one in the League Cup. In the 2,014 minutes he has spent on the pitch, he has recorded seven goals and four assists.
