Newcastle United Report: Manager Breaks Silence on Amar Dedic 'Agreement'
Newcastle have reportedly agreed personal terms with the Bosnia and Herzegovina right-back, but Benfica’s asking price remains the main obstacle.
- On Thursday, Newcastle United representatives watched Benfica defender Amar Dedic during a Europa League match against Hearts, observing the 23-year-old Bosnian international as the club pursues a transfer deal.
- Manager Matthias Jaissle seeks defensive reinforcements following veteran Kieran Trippier's departure this summer, while midfielder Tino Livramento remains sidelined with a calf injury sustained during international duty.
- According to Sky Sport in Germany, Newcastle are in "advanced negotiations" with Benfica, with personal terms already agreed. Jaissle previously managed Dedic at Red Bull Salzburg between 2021 and 2023.
- Valuations remain a sticking point: Benfica reportedly values the defender at £35m while Newcastle seeks to pay no more than £30m, creating a £5m gap in fee negotiations.
- Dedic could feature for Newcastle in the season opener against Liverpool on August 23 if the clubs resolve the fee dispute, with the defender providing immediate cover for the injured Livramento.
