Benfica presented a contract renewal proposal to winger Schjelderup, 22 years old, in an effort to hold onto one of the club's main assets. The player was reportedly not entirely satisfied with the initial offer presented.
Rui Costa, president of the club, is willing to increase the financial bar of the proposal to convince the player to stay. The club thus wants to prevent the departure of one of its most important players.
The Norwegian winger has been a key piece in Roger Schmidt's team, being considered one of Benfica's main assets. The club's intention is to secure the player's long-term continuity.
