Transfer market stirs: Benfica and Brugge close to Schjelderup agreement | OneFootball

Benfica and Club Brugge continue to negotiate the transfer of Andreas Schjelderup. As it stands, the deal is set to be finalized; however, the two parties have yet to reach a full agreement regarding the terms and payments for the 21-year-old winger, who has not found much space in the Eagles.

According to Sacha Tavolieri, it is expected that the Schjelderup dossier will be closed by the upcoming January 30th, Friday. With this in mind, Club Brugge has reportedly submitted a new proposal to Benfica, as the initial offer did not meet the Eagles' demands.

However, the same journalist does not disclose the figures involved in the new proposal presented by the Belgians. Nonetheless, the fact that Brugge is not giving up on the deal shows they are determined to get closer to the values Benfica aims to secure with the sale of the Norwegian international.

As previously reported on other occasions, the Benfica board, led by Rui Costa, intends to receive an amount around 15 million euros, a value that aligns with the player's market. It is worth noting that Brugge, in an initial proposal, offered 8 million euros, plus 3 million euros in variables.

This season, playing for Benfica, Andreas Schjelderup — valued at 14 million euros — has played 25 matches: 13 in Liga Portugal Betclic, seven in the Champions League, four in the Portuguese Cup, and one in the League Cup. In the 1,146 minutes he was on the field, the winger scored two goals and made three assists.
