Manchester City are exploring a move for Benfica’s highly-rated defender Amar Dedic as Pep Guardiola looks to further strengthen his squad for the long term.
Man City weigh up move for Benfica’s rising star Amar Dedic
Fresh from completing the spectacular signing of Antoine Semenyo, City’s recruitment team continues to scour the market.
Their focus has now reportedly turned to the 23-year-old Bosnian international right-back, who is attracting growing attention across Europe with his steady performances in Portugal.
Reports from Bosnia indicate City are actively assessing the possibility of bringing Dedic to the Etihad Stadium.
The club views a summer move as more feasible than a January deal, with Benfica understandably reluctant to lose a key defender mid-season.
Dedic has cemented himself as an important figure for Benfica, making 28 appearances across all competitions this season, contributing one goal and three assists.
Praised for his solid defensive instincts, the full-back is acknowledged as a player still refining his attacking output—a crucial area for development in Guardiola’s system.
City’s interest signals a proactive approach to squad building, ensuring competition and cover in defensive areas as they remain contenders for four major trophies this season.
Dedic represents a targeted prospect for the future, fitting the club’s model of recruiting emerging talent with high potential.
