Then Benfica made their move for the Danish's leagues leading scorer and 18 year old Norwegian winger Andreas Schjelderup from Nordsjaelland in which they paid €9M with a potential additional €5M in add ons. Schjelderup also signed a contract with the club until the summer of 2028, with a €100M buy out clause.
