Not Just Amar Dedic - Newcastle United Plan 17-Day Transfer Assault to Back Matthias Jaissle
The 23-year-old Bosnian right-back is set to join after Newcastle agreed a £35 million package that includes a sell-on clause.
- Newcastle United reached a £30 million agreement with Benfica to sign right-back Amar Dedic, with the Bosnian international arriving on Tyneside today to complete his medical ahead of a five-year contract.
- The 23-year-old previously worked with Newcastle head coach Matthias Jaissle at Red Bull Salzburg, making him a targeted full-back addition for the manager's tactical setup.
- Dedic represents Newcastle's sixth summer signing, joining a squad undergoing significant roster changes as part of the club's broader transfer strategy during the current window.
