# Virals: Ex-Liverpool trialist Andreas Schjelderup to break transfer record

Former [Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/10/10/virals-liverpool-interested-in-signing-ousmane-dembele-next-summer/) trialist Andreas Schjelderup has been tipped to break a club transfer record when Danish side FC Nordsjaelland eventually decide to cash in.

The 17-year-old was named among the 60 best young talents in world football in a report from [The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/football/ng-interactive/2021/oct/07/next-generation-2021-60-of-the-best-young-talents-in-world-football) this week and could rake in a lofty fee when sold.

Earlier this year, Schjelderup [admitted](https://onefootball.com/en/news/whizkid-andreas-schjelderup-admits-choosing-nordsjaelland-over-liverpool-bayern-munich-32760780) spending time on trial with the Reds, Tottenham, Juventus and Bayern Munich as well as visiting the academy setups at Ajax and PSV Eindhoven.

Ultimately, the [Norway Under 21 international](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/andreas-schjelderup/nationalmannschaft/spieler/670103/verein_id/31919) opted to sign for FC Nordsjaelland.

Schjelderup, an attacking midfielder, has since scored [six and provided four assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/andreas-schjelderup/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/670103) in 24 first-team appearances in Denmark.

That form earned the Norwegian prodigy a [new contract](https://twitter.com/fcnordsjaelland/status/1441032260405194755) recently – backed up by a [bright start](https://www.sofascore.com/player/andreas-schjelderup/1100952) to the 2021/22 campaign containing [three goals and one assist](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/andreas-schjelderup/leistungsdaten/spieler/670103).

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Valued at £4.5million ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/andreas-schjelderup/marktwertverlauf/spieler/670103)), the report tips Schjelderup be sold for in excess of £14million – more than [fellow Liverpool target](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/liverpool-transfer-news-damsgaard-bissouma-24863903) Mikkel Damsgaard.

Seemingly incredibly talented and [versatile](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/andreas-schjelderup/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/670103) beyond his years, the high levels of interest are perhaps no surprise.

Liverpool have made a strong play for snapping up the hottest young talent in recent years, perhaps Schjelderup could be the next off the [Nordsjaelland production line](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-nordsjaelland/rekordabgaenge/verein/2778) to make a big move in Europe.
