Deal done! Amar Dedic leaves Benfica for Newcastle; fee could hit... | OneFootball

It is the latest "bombshell" at Luz. Benfica have reached an agreement with Newcastle for the transfer of Amar Dedic, in a deal that brings negotiations between the two clubs to a close. The right-back had been on the English club’s radar for several days, and the process has now moved into a decisive phase.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the Magpies and the Eagles have finalized a deal that could reach €35 million, with a percentage of a future sale included. The transfer market expert confirmed the move with his usual "here we go," signaling that an agreement between the parties has been reached.

The 23-year-old player’s departure will happen despite Benfica’s initial desire to keep the Bosnian in the squad. The club from Luz saw the full-back as an important option for Marco Silva, but the player’s own wishes ultimately carried weight in the negotiations.

One of the factors that may have contributed to the Bosnian international’s decision is the presence of Matthias Jaissle in charge of the Magpies. The German coach knows Dedic well from their time together at Salzburg, and it was precisely under his guidance that the full-back established himself in Austrian football.

Amar Dedic is preparing to leave Benfica just one year after arriving at Luz. The transfer to Newcastle represents a significant financial boost for the Reds. The player, meanwhile, sees his wish of making the leap to English football fulfilled.
