Winger Andreas Schjelderup remains on Barcelona's radar as a potential summer transfer target, according to Spanish publication Mundo Deportivo. The Catalan giants' interest in Benfica's 21-year-old Norwegian persists, with Schjelderup's name reportedly being considered alongside Anthony Gordon (Newcastle), Víctor Muñoz (Osasuna), Jean Virgili (Mallorca), Mika Godts (Ajax), and Ez Abde (Betis).
The same source suggests that a potential deal for Schjelderup could be around €20 million. However, A BOLA understands this figure would be insufficient for the Eagles' management. Andreas Schjelderup was signed from Nordsjaelland in January 2023 for just over €14 million.
Schjelderup is currently a key attacking figure for the Lisbon club, boasting 10 goals and 6 assists in 41 appearances this season.
The young talent experienced an inconsistent first half of the season, but José Mourinho has since maximized the forward's potential.
Benfica's plan for the Nordic player doesn't rule out a transfer in the upcoming window, but extending his contract is also on the table should he remain at the Estádio da Luz. Andreas Schjelderup is tied to Benfica until 2028 and is protected by a €100 million release clause.
