"Benfica SAD will also be entitled to receive a percentage of 17.94% of the capital gain obtained in a future transfer of the aforementioned player," reads the club’s official note to the CMVM regarding the negotiation.

From the transfer fee, Newcastle may retain 5% related to the solidarity mechanism, an amount intended for the clubs involved in Dedic’s development. That share corresponds to around 1.8 million euros.

In addition, Benficawill have to pay intermediary service costs, corresponding to 10% of the transfer fee after deducting the solidarity mechanism, in an approximate amount of 3.4 million euros.

Salzburg will also be entitled to receive 15% of the capital gain, calculated after deducting the acquisition cost of the Bosnian international’s rights and the solidarity mechanism. Dedic, 23, therefore leaves Benfica after one season in the service of the Eagles and is now preparing to begin a new stage of his career in the Premier League with Newcastle.
