Andreas Schjelderup, 22-year-old left-footed winger for Benfica, has emerged as one of Europe's most coveted young attacking talents following an impressive display at the 2026 World Cup with Norway. AC Milan and Como have registered serious interest, joining Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, and Atlético Madrid in monitoring the Portuguese club's asset.
Schjelderup's World Cup impact accelerated transfer interest significantly. Coming off the bench in Norway's match against Senegal on June 22, he contributed to a 3-2 victory securing Norway's knockout-stage qualification. His contributions have intensified pursuit from multiple European powerhouses.
Benfica values Schjelderup at approximately €30 million. In the 2025-26 season, he registered 10 goals and 7 assists across 43 appearances in all competitions, demonstrating both goalscoring threat and creative capability. His market valuation has accelerated sharply since January 2026, when Benfica rejected Club Brugge's offer.
Schjelderup's rising market value and multiple suitor interest may force Benfica to negotiate a summer sale. His departure would materially impact Benfica's attacking depth for 2026-27 European and domestic campaigns, affecting odds on their continental competition progression and domestic title prospects.
