Newcastle in Direct Talks with Benfica for Amar Dedic

Newcastle United has begun direct negotiations with Benfica for the acquisition of Bosnian defender Amar Dedic during the current summer transfer window, marking another step by the English club to strengthen their full-back position.

According to reports, negotiations between the two clubs started today, with Newcastle showing clear interest in the 23-year-old player, who excels in multiple positions on the flanks, making him a suitable option to strengthen the team's lineup.

Dedic also enjoys the approval of coach Matthias Jaissle, who knows the player well, having previously worked with him during their time at Red Bull Salzburg. This has contributed to placing the Bosnian defender among Newcastle's targets in the current transfer market.

Reports indicate that Didic is open to a move to Newcastle and is excited about the prospect of a new experience in the Premier League, which could assist the English club in reaching an agreement on personal terms if negotiations with Benfica succeed.

Newcastle's management is looking to speed up negotiations in the coming days, while Benfica's stance and the financial demands for the Bosnian full-back remain crucial factors in the potential completion of the deal.
