Roma remain active after signing Robinio Vaz-Malen, eyeing 2004-born Andreas Schjelderup. If Roma pursue Schjelderup, markets may shorten for Roma to score more and for Mourinho’s side to improve attacking returns—punters might favour Roma over/under goals lines and player-prop markets for Schjelderup if he joins and features in European competition.
Roma eye Andreas Schjelderup as attack reinforcement
Roma’s transfer activity hasn’t cooled after the double signing of Robinio Vaz-Malen, with the club reportedly identifying further options to boost their frontline. One name repeatedly linked to the capital is 2004-born Andreas Schjelderup, currently at Benfica, who has attracted interest but no final decision has been made.
Transfer context and interest from Italy
Parma made an effort to recruit Schjelderup earlier, but the youngster is prioritising moves that guarantee exposure in European competitions. Roma have registered interest in the player but are yet to commit to a bid, leaving the deal in a wait-and-see phase as the transfer window progresses.
Player form and profile
This season Schjelderup has featured 22 times, scoring two goals and providing three assists. The young forward offers technical quality and versatility in attack, traits that appeal to clubs seeking long-term offensive reinforcements.
Off-field issues and market consequences
Schjelderup recently faced legal troubles: last November he received a 14-day suspended sentence and a year of probation after being convicted in connection with distributing a sexually explicit video depicting minors. That development has hit his market value and complicated potential moves, making clubs more cautious and likely to demand lower transfer fees or stricter contractual protections.
Implications for Roma and betting markets
If Roma move decisively for Schjelderup, expect markets to react quickly—odds for Roma to increase their goal output or to secure higher-scoring matches could shorten. Punters should monitor whether he is eligible for European competitions and how the club integrates him; player-prop markets (goals/assists) and over/under goal lines will be the most sensitive to such a signing. Given the legal background and the player’s reduced valuation, cautious bettors may wait for confirmation of transfer terms and squad role before staking large bets.
