Amar Dedic has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Manchester City , with the Premier League side said to be eyeing a move for the Sl Benfica defender. Speculation is gathering pace as the club looks to bolster its squad ahead of a crucial second half of the season. Talks remain ongoing, though with no rival clubs reported in the mix, Manchester City are progressing without added pressure. Manchester City 's back line has been a real strength this season, conceding just 0.9 goals per game (19 in 21). Amar Dedic would be expected to slot into that unit and hold his own in an already solid setup. Sl Benfica have also been linked with Wesley Gassova Ribeiro Teixeira and Souffian El Karouani while Manchester City are reportedly monitoring Cole Palmer, Wesley Franca and Michael Olabode Kayode.
