Trouble for Marco Silva! Star wants to quit Benfica for Jaissle | OneFootball

Amar Dedic may be getting ever closer to leaving Benfica, just one year after being signed from Salzburg for a fee in the region of €10 million. The Bosnia international right-back is attracting strong interest in England, with Newcastle emerging as the main suitor.

According to information reported this Thursday by the Bosnian outlet SportSport, the player himself has already given the green light to a move to St. James' Park. Dedic is now said to be eagerly awaiting the outcome of negotiations between the two clubs, hoping that Benfica and Newcastle can reach an agreement.

Rui Costa is said to have set a valuation of €35 million for the 23-year-old player’s transfer. Amar Dedic is under contract with Benfica until June 2030 and is protected by a release clause set at €50 million.

Even so, Newcastle want to begin negotiations at considerably lower figures. According to the same source, the Magpies are prepared to come forward with an offer of €25 million, which could later rise to €30 million.

The possible move to England gains even more strength due to Matthias Jaissle’s presence in charge of Newcastle. The 38-year-old German coach succeeded Eddie Howe and knows the right-back very well, having worked with him during their time together at Salzburg between 2021 and 2023.
