Dedic set for Newcastle move as Benfica land 35m euros plus 17.5% sell-on | OneFootball

Amar Dedic has arrived in England to finalise a move to Newcastle, sending a message to Benfica supporters as he prepares to leave after one year at the club.

According to Glorioso 1904, Benfica will receive 35 million euros, with 17.5% of any future sell-on profit included in the deal.

Dedic will no longer be available to Marco Silva at right-back. Benfica are left with Alexander Bah and Banjaqui for the role.

Despite losing an important player, Marco Silva said the exit is virtually complete and that he had no part in the decision.

Previewing the meeting with Casa Pia, the coach added that the defender had not been involved in preparations for the game and would not be selected, noting the short turnaround since their trip to Scotland.
