The exact figures of the deal, as well as the specific terms, are not yet publicly known. However, the Benfica board has a clear preference: a permanent sale or a loan with a mandatory purchase option. The intention is to resolve the financial matter in a permanent and secure way for the Club.

Benfica is willing to negotiate the transfer for an amount between 15 and 20 million euros. Reportedly, there are already concrete offers of this magnitude on the table. Rui Costa aims to recover the investment made, ensuring a significant financial gain for the club’s coffers in this transfer window.

Winger was not in Mourinho’s plans at Benfica

The player is not part of José Mourinho’s plans for the rest of the season. His last official match was on December 17, when he started in the 2-0 victory over Farense. That game was for the Portuguese Cup round of 16 and was, most likely, the winger’s last appearance in the Sacred Mantle.

This season, playing for Benfica, Andreas Schjelderup – valued at 14 million euros – played 21 matches: 11 in 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 pitch, the winger scored two goals and provided three assists.
