Newcastle United, Benfica and Amar Dedic
Saturday
Newcastle are in advanced talks with Benfica over a move for Bosnia-Herzegovina right-back Amar Dedic, who is valued at around £30m. The 23-year-old previously worked under Newcastle manager Matthias Jaissle during their time together at Red Bull Salzburg.
Newcastle need another right-back after Kieran Trippier’s departure and with Tino Livramento still recovering from injury. Negotiations are progressing sufficiently for Dedic to potentially be available for the Premier League opener against Liverpool if the clubs complete an agreement.
