Amar Dedic is the name on everyone's lips in the European footballing world. At 21 years old, the RB Salzburg and Bosnia and Herzegovina defender has already caught the attention of some of the biggest clubs in Europe.
Chelsea, Arsenal and Newcastle are just a few of the teams interested in signing Dedic, who has made a lasting impression with his performances this season. He was loaned to Liefering and Wolfsberger AC to gain experience before breaking into the Salzburg first team and has since made a name for himself in both the Champions League and the Europa League.
The Sun has reported that Dedic is a wanted man, with Barcelona, Inter Milan, Roma, and numerous Premier League teams leading the race to sign him. In fact, Roma made a bid of over £21 million last summer, which was unfortunately rejected.
Nevertheless, it looks like the 21-year-old will be making the move to a big club in 2024. Dedic isn't just a right-back either; he can play across the back four which will make him even more attractive to his suitors. He signed a new contract with Salzburg in January, which will keep him there until 2027, but teams will likely make bids for him as early as next month.
When asked about a potential January move to Roma last month, Dedic gave a diplomatic response. He said: ‘I know absolutely nothing about Roma’s interest. But Serie A is very interesting and high-level league for a young player like me.’ He concluded by saying that his focus is entirely on Salzburg and their upcoming match.
