Newcastle Open Talks on Amar Dedic as Matthias Jaissle Lifts Lid on ...
The 23-year-old defender addresses Newcastle's full-back shortage after four senior players departed this summer, with manager Matthias Jaissle signaling more signings ahead.
On Tuesday, Newcastle United opened negotiations with Benfica to sign 23-year-old full-back Amar Dedic, with reports indicating the player is keen on a potential move to the Premier League side.
Manager Matthias Jaissle currently lacks senior full-backs after the club released Kieran Trippier, Matt Targett, and Emil Krafth, while loaning Alex Murphy to FC Kaiserslautern.
Dedic previously worked with Jaissle at Red Bull Salzburg and can play on both flanks, making him a versatile fit for Newcastle's defensive needs.
Jaissle confirmed there will be adjustments to the squad before the transfer window closes, emphasizing the club is aware of necessary positions and actively working on solutions.
With less than two weeks before the Premier League opener against Liverpool, Newcastle faces pressure to finalize recruitment; Jaissle remains optimistic about navigating the transition phase.
