Barcelona has shown interest in Andreas Schjelderup following his impressive performance in the UEFA Champions League, which captured the attention of the club and its sporting director, Deco. The Norwegian winger, recognized for his speed and individual technique, impressed Barcelona's management with his exceptional play, although he had previously gone unnoticed due to limited playing time at Benfica earlier in the season. Schjelderup was acquired by Benfica from Nordsjaelland for nine million euros and is contracted with them until June 2028, with a release clause set at 100 million euros. His agent, Rafaela Pimienta, has a close relationship with Barcelona's president, Joan Laporta, established during her time working with the late football agent Mino Raiola. Despite Barcelona's keen observation of Schjelderup's development, there are currently no concrete plans for a transfer.
