Benfica set price to sell Andreas Schjelderup to Barcelona | OneFootball

Barcelona remain attentive to Andreas Schjelderup’s development and have already identified him as one of the main options to strengthen the wings in the upcoming summer transfer window, keeping the Benfica youngster highly rated for Hansi Flick’s attack.

Benfica are asking for between €30 million and €40 million for the Norwegian winger, even though he has a release clause set at €100 million.

Interest in the winger comes at a time when Barcelona are still assessing whether to move forward with the permanent signing of Marcus Rashford, currently on loan from Manchester United, whose purchase option is around €30 million and has raised some internal doubts.

As such, the Benfica player’s name — who was praised by Nemanja Matic — is gaining momentum as an alternative, on a list that also includes other targets monitored by the Blaugrana hierarchy, namely Jan Virgili (Mallorca), Abde Ezzalzouli (Real Betis) and Víctor Muñoz (Osasuna).

This season, playing for Benfica, Andreas Schjelderup — valued at €20 million — has already made a total of 38 official appearances: 23 in Liga Portugal Betclic, 10 in the Champions League, four in the Portuguese Cup and one in the League Cup. In the 2,194 minutes he has been on the pitch, he has recorded eight goals and five assists.
