“Amar Dedic strengthens Newcastle for 35 million euros.”

The transfer of [Amar Dedic](https://apitofinal.pt/nacional/benfica-e-newcastle-prestes-a-fechar-transferencia-de-amar-dedic/) to Newcastle United, valued at 35 million euros, has finally been confirmed by [Fabrizio Romano](https://apitofinal.pt/internacional/como-avanca-para-contratar-liam-delap-apos-negocio-de-chalobah/), who used his famous phrase “here we go.” The right-back, who has previously played under the new Newcastle manager, Matthias Jaissle, at RB Salzburg, was eager for a reunion and pushed for the move to materialize.

The agreement includes a financial package that, in addition to the main sum, features a significant sell-on clause for Benfica. Dedic, 23, was part of the Bosnia national team at the last World Cup and shows great potential for development in European football. This move is a relief for Newcastle, which has seen its squad dismantled by sales during this transfer window.

Benfica, on the other hand, is facing a complicated situation. President Rui Costa is under pressure from fans, who fear that the team is falling behind compared to long-time rivals, [FC Porto](https://apitofinal.pt/internacional/rodrigo-mora-sofre-com-atraso-na-transferencia-para-a-roma/). The departure of Dedic is a significant loss, as the Portuguese club wanted to keep him. The pressure exerted by the player for the deal to go through was what allowed this transfer to happen, leaving Benfica with yet another gap to fill in their squad.

Newcastle fans are now hoping that this acquisition is just the beginning of a squad reinforcement, as the team does not seem fully prepared for the upcoming season of the Premier League. The impact of this transfer could be substantial, not only for Newcastle's performance but also for the dynamics of the league as clubs gear up for the competition.

With the transfer window open, expectations are high to see how both teams will proceed in the coming weeks. Newcastle's ability to bounce back after a challenging summer may depend on their future signings, while Benfica will need to act quickly to mitigate losses and strengthen their squad.
