Amar Dedić set to join Newcastle for €35m

Fabrizio Romano reports that Benfica defender Amar Dedić is travelling to England for a medical examination and contract signing with Newcastle. The report states the deal is valued at €35m, though the transfer has not been confirmed as final.

Five outlets are following the story, noting that the fee is undisclosed beyond the reported €35m package. Onside’s model estimates Dedić’s valuation at €7m, indicating the club would be paying above the model’s value. The model’s confidence in the move stands at 63%.

If the medical is passed and the contract is signed, Dedić would become Newcastle’s latest defensive signing. The situation remains subject to completion of the required formalities, and the transfer is not yet officially confirmed.
