Press reports revealed that Barcelona's sporting director, Deco, is showing interest in signing Norwegian talent Andreas Schjelderup, the winger of the Portuguese club Benfica, as part of the club's plan to bolster its ranks with young players capable of developing and making a difference.

According to 'Fichajes', the 21-year-old has succeeded in securing his place in Benfica's starting lineup this season, after overcoming the adaptation phase following his transfer from Danish club Nordsjaelland, becoming one of the team's offensive pillars.

Recently, there has been a noticeable improvement in Schjelderup's level, both in terms of consistent performance and direct impact on match results. He is distinguished by his ability to play with the opposite foot, dribble in one-on-one situations, and make a difference in tight spaces, alongside a clear improvement in decision-making and reading the flow of matches, especially in continental competitions.

Barcelona is closely monitoring the player's development, as they seek to sign young talents with significant growth potential and the ability to make decisive plays in the final third of the field, aligning with the Norwegian winger's characteristics.

However, completing the deal will not be easy, given Benfica's strong negotiating position and the player's increased market value in recent months, in addition to the interest from other European clubs in acquiring his services, making his future open to several possibilities in the coming period.
