Milan and Como Enter the Race to Sign Sheldrup

Norwegian Andreas Sheldrup has become one of the most sought-after names in the European transfer market, after catching attention with his performances for Benfica and the Norwegian national team, prompting Milan and Como to join the race to sign him alongside Liverpool, Tottenham, and Atletico Madrid.

The website 'Tutto Mercato Web' explained that Benfica has set Sheldrup's value at about 30 million euros, which is double the offer that Club Brugge was ready to make last January, before the player shone by scoring a decisive brace against Real Madrid, which led Jose Mourinho to exclude him from the list of players for sale before he left to take over coaching Real Madrid.

Parma was close to signing the player during the last winter transfer window, as the club's CEO, Federico Cherubini, admitted that negotiations had reached advanced stages before ultimately failing.

Sheldrup is distinguished by his ability to play on both sides, having scored 10 goals and provided 7 assists in 43 matches he played with Benfica in various competitions last season.

The player's stock increased during the 2026 World Cup, after he participated as a substitute and contributed to Norway's 3-2 victory over Senegal and qualification to the round of 32, which boosted the interest of several major European clubs in signing him.

Sheldrup has also been linked with a potential move to Barcelona as a possible replacement for Marcus Rashford, but the player confirmed that he has no concrete information regarding these reports, despite welcoming the idea.

With the growing number of clubs interested in his services and his rising market value, it seems that Benfica will enter any future negotiations from a position of strength regarding one of its most prominent young attacking talents.
