Italy come calling for Schjelderup, but Benfica see no solution in sight | OneFootball

The future of Andreas Schjelderup remains uncertain. At a time when Benfica is looking to strengthen the squad, the Nordic winger continues to be an option for José Mourinho. However, he is aiming for a departure from Luz, specifically to Italy.

According to the newspaper A Bola, the number 21 believes that the Italian league is, in fact, the ideal destination to continue his career. However, negotiations with Parma have cooled and Roma, although considering the player, has not yet made any significant move.

For now, the winger continues to work under José Mourinho’s orders and hopes to have another opportunity to show his worth, as soon as this Wednesday, January 21, against Juventus. Schjelderup is determined to leave, but at the moment, he is not convinced by any of the offers he has received.

On the other hand, the upcoming World Cup, for which Norway has qualified, is one of the reasons why the player wants to get more minutes on the pitch. Ståle Solbakken, the national team coach, has been keeping a close eye on the situation of the Benfica footballer.

This season, playing for Benfica, Andreas Schjelderup — valued at 14 million euros — has played 23 matches: 12 in Liga Portugal Betclic, six in the Champions League, four in the Portuguese Cup, and one in the League Cup. In the 1,047 minutes he has been on the pitch, the winger has scored two goals and provided three assists.
