Marco Silva has taken over the reins at Bernfica, and wants to bring Andreas Schelderup with him. Not surprisingly, the 22-year-old has had a sparkling season in the Benfica shirt since last autumn, in the World Cup the Norwegian international showed that it was no coincidence. Silva still has to look far for his Norwegian star winger.
Because according to A Bola, Schjelderup has not been convinced by the offer Benfica has put forward. The report claims the Portuguese club has offered Schjelderup a total package of €18 million over five years, but the player has not given a positive response to the offer. The 22-year-old has informed Benfica that he has no intention of renewing his current contract and that he is heading for exit this summer, it is reported.

Here Tottenham awaits, among several big clubs. The London club have been working hard for Savinho signing from Manchester City, but City have not given the green light.
We let the English The Spurs-web give a description of the situation:
“This has led Spurs to work on potential options for the Brazilian. One of these options is Schjelderup, who has been heavily linked with a move to Tottenham on the basis of his outstanding performances for Norway in the World Cup. In recent days, Benfica have had contract talks with the Spurs goal, and there has now been a big development in these negotiations, which will not go unnoticed in North London.”

“A Bola reports that while Marco Silva considers the winger a key player, Benfica are aware that this summer could be their last opportunity to get a high price for the player. The Portuguese club are now prepared to listen to bids starting from over €40 million for Schjelderup, which they believe reflects his recent development and potential.”
“The report mentions Tottenham as a potential club for the winger, but adds that other Premier League clubs and some Serie A teams are also showing interest.”
We are eagerly following the process, and fully deserve interest in Schjelderup.
