The OM management would have checked the name of Andreas Schjelderup (20 years old), left winger playing for Benfica and Norwegian international.
At the start of the season, before he changed his tactical plan, Roberto De Zerbi, the OM coach, had planned to play his first team with two wingers. And with Mason Greenwood, the former Manchester United player, on the right. De Zerbi started by putting Luis Henrique on the left but the Brazilian, even if he was successful in front of goal, was more efficient on the other side of the field. The Marseille management therefore set out in search of a left winger and made contact with numerous players during the summer transfer window. But no lead came to fruition. And De Zerbi, therefore, ended up switching to a 3-4-2-1 where Adrien Rabiot is responsible for running the left lane with the side of the moment, Quentin Merlin or Ulisses Garcia.
Schjelderup is exploding at Benfica
But the quest continues for the management of Olympique de Marseille. Particularly during this winter transfer window. And she led Pablo Longoria and Medhi Benatia, the two strong men of the Marseille club, to the Portuguese side, more precisely to Benfica. Where the Norwegian Andreas Schjelderup is exploding after complicated first steps.
Recruited in January 2023 from Nordsjaelland, the Norwegian striker spent the first six months on the bench with the Eagles before being loaned to his training club in 2023-24. He started the current season with the SLB but without breaking through. Until the click, which occurred at the beginning of the year. Scorer in the final of the Portuguese League Cup against Sporting (1-1, 7 tab to 7), he found a place in the starting lineup and even delivered two assists against Famalicao (4-0) in the league after scoring a superb goal in the Portuguese Cup against Farense (3-1).
-Schjelderup finally confirms the hopes placed in him and this attracts attention from abroad. According to Ekrem Konur, a journalist well informed about the transfer window, Olympique de Marseille would therefore be in the running. But not alone since Ajax Amsterdam, AC Milan and Atlético Madrid also seem to be on the file. The rating of this partner of Erling Haaland, the Manchester City striker who plays in the Premier League, in the Norwegian selection is €10 million.
