Marco Silva ‘to keep’ Alexander Bah as Benfica aim to avoid right-back shortfall amid Amar Dedic exit talk | OneFootball

According to Glorioso 1904, Alexander Bah remains in Marco Silva’s plans for the new season at Benfica.

The head coach has not instructed the club to place the Danish right-back on the market, and views him as a key option on the right side of defence.

Despite competition in that area, Silva does not want to lose another full-back with Amar Dedic increasingly close to leaving the Luz.

Dedic, 23, is on his way to Newcastle, which would leave Benfica with one fewer specialist right-back. Silva does not want that shortage to deepen during this window.

He believes losing two players in the same position would be an unnecessary risk in a campaign that demands squad depth across all competitions.

Silva values Bah’s experience and reliability in a department where numbers will matter, so the exit door is not open for the Dane.
