Watch out, Benfica! European giant considering move for Andreas Schjelderup | OneFootball

Andreas Schjelderup continues to attract interest from European football clubs. According to reports, Barcelona has been closely monitoring the sudden rise of the Benfica footballer and is studying the possibility of making a move for his signing in the transfer market.

As reported by the newspaper O Jogo, Barcelona sent scouts to the match in Arouca with the sole purpose of observing Andreas Schjelderup, in a game where the Benfica winger proved to be a decisive piece for the hard-fought victory secured by the Eagles, already in stoppage time.

The same source states that the Catalan club’s intention is to gather all the information regarding the Eagles’ number 21 so that, at the end of the season, they can present a formal offer to Benfica. The truth is that, since January, Schjelderup has become “untouchable” in Mourinho’s squad.

On the other hand, O Jogo adds that Barcelona’s interest in the Nordic winger is not new and dates back to a time when the Norwegian had not yet signed with the Club of Light. It should be recalled that Schjelderup has been at Benfica since January 2023, and this has been his breakout season.

This season, playing for Benfica, Andreas Schjelderup – valued at 14 million euros – has already played a total of 35 official matches: 20 in Liga Portugal Betclic, 10 in the Champions League, four in the Portuguese Cup, and one in the League Cup. In the 1,938 minutes he has spent on the pitch, he has recorded seven goals and four assists.
