Benfica’s alternative to Alexander Bah making headlines in his home country | OneFootball

In his first months as a player for Benfica, Amar Dedic has been highlighted in his home country, Bosnia and Herzegovina, for his good deeds and humanitarian aid. On October 9th, the number 17 received an award given by his peers.

As reported by the newspaper Record, the right-back, who joined Estádio da Luz this season, is currently serving his national team, which allowed him to receive the award marking the International Day of Humanitarian Aid.

Amar Dedic has been the starting defender for Benfica since the official start of the season, largely due to his quality on the field, but also because his direct 'rival', Alexander Bah, remains unavailable due to a serious injury.

However, soon the Bosnian will face competition from the Dane, who hasn't played since February. Yesterday, Benfica released a video where the number 6 appears in a conversation with Manu Silva. The two players, who are very close to returning to José Mourinho's options, recalled the challenging moments they went through.

Signed from Salzburg, the defender is one of the reinforcements for 2024/25. In the current sports season, Amar Dedic - currently valued at 13 million euros - has played a total of 14 official matches so far. In the 1,204 minutes he has been on the field, the number 17 has recorded one goal and one assist.
