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 at Tynecastle, with the club aiming to finalize a deal for the Bosnian international.
- Manager Matthias Jaissle is seeking defensive reinforcements following Kieran Trippier's departure this summer and Tino Livramento's ongoing calf injury, leaving the squad short of senior full-back options.
- Sky Sport reports Newcastle are in "advanced negotiations" with Benfica, with personal terms already agreed and the club eager to reunite Dedic with Jaissle, who managed him at Red Bull Salzburg.
- Valuations remain a sticking point: Benfica reportedly values the defender at £35m, whereas Newcastle seeks to pay no more than £30m, creating a £5m gap to bridge.
- Dedic could feature immediately for Newcastle in the league opener against Liverpool on August 23 if the clubs resolve the remaining fee dispute before the transfer window closes.
