Transfer bombshell from Portugal! Barcelona may sign one of Benfica's leaders
Lisbon's Benfica is ready to part ways with one of its brightest assets.
Details: According to A Bola, the Portuguese club is open to offers for 21-year-old Norwegian winger Andreas Schjelderup. The Eagles' management has set the player's market value at 20 million euros.
Events are unfolding rapidly: the player's agent, the influential Rafaela Pimienta, has already offered the Norwegian's services to Barcelona's board of directors.
With a squad shortage and the recent injury to Raphinha, the Catalan club is in urgent need of reinforcements on the wings and may seriously consider this transfer.
Notably, this season the Norwegian winger has made 36 appearances for the Lisbon club across all competitions, scoring 7 goals and providing 4 assists. Transfermarkt values the player at 20 million euros.
Reminder: Benfica head coach José Mourinho sidelined a Benfica defender after a shirt swap with Vinicius.
