Benfica announces sale of Amar Dedic to Newcastle for €35.9 million

Benfica announced the sale of Bosnian player Amar Dedic to Newcastle United. The confirmation came on Tuesday morning, and the deal was closed for a sum of €35.9 million, as reported by the club.

Dedic, who is 24 years old, joined Benfica a year ago and has been part of the squad since then. During his time at the club, he attracted the attention of several European teams, including Newcastle, which ultimately completed the acquisition.

The transfer of Dedic is a significant addition for Newcastle, which is looking to strengthen its roster. The Bosnian winger is known for his skills and potential on the field, having been monitored by various clubs before deciding to move to the Premier League.

Benfica, in turn, strengthens its financial position by securing a considerable amount from the player's departure. The sale of Dedic will be an important step in its strategy for squad management and investment in new talents.
