Fabrizio Romano: Newcastle ‘in talks’ with Benfica over Amar Dedic | OneFootball

According to Fabrizio Romano, Newcastle are in talks with Benfica to sign right-back Amar Dedic, who could leave after one season at the club.

The 23-year-old Bosnia and Herzegovina international is said to be open to a move to England, which could aid negotiations.

Magpies head coach Matthias Jaissle could influence the decision, having worked with Dedic at Salzburg. That relationship may help move discussions forward.

Dedic joined Benfica in the summer of 2025 from Salzburg in a deal worth about 12 million euros, signing a contract through to 2030.

He featured 43 times last season, scoring one goal and providing four assists as he became an important figure in the side.

A departure would mark a significant change for Benfica’s squad. It remains to be seen whether talks develop into a formal offer and whether an agreement can be reached.
