Look out! Benfica star clears out locker, out of Casa Pia clash | OneFootball

Benfica are preparing for the match against Casa Pia with an important absence in Marco Silva’s squad, at a time when the transfer market continues to bring changes to the coach’s options. The player in question is no longer expected to return to training at Seixal and will also not be part of the squad for the next fixture.

The player isAmar Dedic, who is all but confirmed as a Newcastle signing for 35 million euros. Benfica’s SAD have also secured 17.5% of any future capital gain from a possible sale of the 23-year-old full-back.

The transfer is currently at the document-exchange stage between the two clubs and, according to information reported by Record, the official announcement should come this Sunday. Dedic, who joined Benfica in the summer of 2025 from Salzburg, is therefore preparing to leave the Luz.

The Bosnia international still took part in the training session held on Saturday morning, but, with negotiations progressing, he used the moment to say goodbye to his teammates and the staff at Benfica Campus. His locker has been cleared out, and Dedic will not return to Seixal.

On Newcastle’s side, there is hope of having the new signing available quickly. The English club are targeting Dedic’s debut as early as next Saturday, against Liverpool. .
