Amar Dedić to Newcastle for €35m

Fabrizio Romano reports that Newcastle have reached an agreement with Benfica for the transfer of defender Amar Dedić. The deal is said to involve a €35m package that includes a sell‑on clause favouring the Portuguese club. Both outlets monitoring the story confirm the fee and the terms reported.

The move would see Dedić leave Benfica to join Newcastle, with the player reportedly prioritising the switch and expressing excitement about working with manager Matthias Jaissle. Benfica had initially wanted the defender to remain, but the reported agreement reflects the player's desire for a Premier League move.

Onside’s model values Dedić at €7m, indicating the reported €35m fee represents an overpay relative to the valuation. The model assigns a 95% confidence level to the reported agreement, suggesting a high likelihood of the transfer proceeding.
