Marco Silva concern as Amar Dedic ‘to leave’ Benfica for Matthias Jaissle’s Newcastle | OneFootball

Amar Dedic could leave Benfica, with Newcastle leading the chase. SportSport reports that the Bosnian international right-back has given the green light to a move to St James' Park.

He is now awaiting negotiations between the clubs, hoping they can reach an agreement.

Benfica are said to value the 23-year-old at 35 million euros, with a contract to June 2030 and a 50 million euro clause.

Newcastle are prepared to start at around 25 million euros, with any offer potentially rising towards 30 million.

The move is further framed by Matthias Jaissle’s arrival as head coach. The 38-year-old has replaced Eddie Howe and previously worked with Dedic at Salzburg between 2021 and 2023.

Dedic joined Benfica from Salzburg for about 10 million euros last year.
