Fredrik Aursnes has made a big impression at SL Benfica since his arrival. The Norwegian made the switch from Feyenoord to the Portuguese top club last summer and at his new club they still do not understand that they were able to bring in Aursnes for a pittance.
Feyenoord and SL Benfica reached an agreement in August on an amount of thirteen million euros, which with bonuses can still rise to fifteen million euros. In addition, the team from Rotterdam has stipulated a resale percentage of ten percent, the club announced via an official press release.
Former footballer Ronald de Boer is impressed by the 27-year-old midfielder, who mainly plays hanging left winger under trainer Roger Schmidt. ”He’s doing great. I spoke to our Dani from Portugal about Aursnes. He said no one knew him, but everyone is amazed at how good this guy is and how cheap he was.”
“He has stayed under the radar at many clubs and that he is now playing at Benfica, they are incredibly happy with it,” the analyst continues at Ziggo Sport. “Actually, he is a kind of João Mário: Aursnes is very stable and he makes few mistakes. At Benfica they are very happy with him.” The Norwegian still has a contract with SL Benfica until mid-2027.
