Newcastle United have reached an agreement with Benfica to sign defender Amar Dedic. <\/p>\n

Sky Sports News<\/em> understand the deal to be worth \u00a329.5m for the right-back, and the 23-year-old is expected to fly to Newcastle ahead of a medical on Monday.<\/p>\n

There are still a few formalities to complete, but there is confidence Dedic will be a Newcastle player in time for their Premier League opener against Liverpool next Sunday, live on Sky Sports<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The right-back could be immediately called upon at St James’ Park, with Tino Livramento still recovering from a calf injury sustained on international duty with England in June.<\/p>\n

Dedic previously worked with Newcastle head coach Matthias Jaissle at Red Bull Salzburg, where he helped the club retain the Austrian Bundesliga title in 2023.<\/p>\n

Newcastle have been looking to strengthen at right-back following Kieran Trippier’s departure to Wolves on a free transfer this summer.<\/p>\n

The Bosnia and Herzegovina international has won 31 caps and started three of his country’s four matches at the World Cup.<\/p>\n

Newcastle want Palhinha on permanent deal<\/h3>\n

Newcastle are also in talks over a permanent deal for Joao Palhinha<\/strong> from Bayern Munich<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The club are looking to strengthen their midfield after their pursuit of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Aston Villa’s proposed loan move for Palhinha both broke down last week.<\/p>\n

Bayern are not interested in loaning out the midfielder, which is why sporting director Max Eberl said yesterday that the club would not do a deal with Villa.<\/p>\n

Palhinha is now reassessing his options, which could include staying at Bayern or returning to Portugal, with Benfica and Sporting both showing interest.<\/p>\n

However, the midfielder appears to prefer remaining in the Premier League if the opportunity arises.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
