Newcastle seal surprise signing of Amar Dedic in Premier League

Newcastle United have confirmed the signing of 23‑year‑old Bosnian right‑back Amar Dedić, making the move official today. The player joins the Premier League side after a year at Benfica and a brief loan spell with Olympique de Marseille at the start of 2025.

Dedić arrived at Benfica one year ago, where he continued his development in Portugal’s top division. His performances attracted interest from clubs across Europe.

At the beginning of 2025 he spent a short loan period at Olympique de Marseille, featuring in a handful of matches before returning to Benfica. The loan was described as brief.

Newcastle announced the signing today, confirming that Dedić is now a member of the squad. The club highlighted his defensive abilities on the right flank.

Having moved from Benfica and a brief spell in France, the 23‑year‑old Bosnian right‑back now embarks on his Premier League career with Newcastle.
