Bayern Munich is actively scouting for defensive reinforcements, setting their sights on Tottenham Hotspur’s Eric Dier. Reports from German media suggest a potential €70 million move for Barcelona’s Ronald Araujo, but English sources highlight Bayern’s pursuit of Dier to fortify their backline.
The German champions’ interest in Dier stems from Thomas Tuchel’s admiration for the versatile central defender, who was a target last summer. However, Bayern opted for Kim Min-jae from Napoli, but the South Korean’s absence in January due to the Asian Cup has prompted Bayern to seek immediate cover.
Recent English reports indicate that the 29-year-old has reached personal terms with Bayern, yet negotiations revolve around the contract’s duration. Dier is purportedly seeking an extension until 2026, a point of contention in the ongoing talks.
Struggling to secure significant playing time under Angelos Postecoglou at Tottenham this season, Dier eyes an exit to ensure regular minutes, especially with aspirations to represent England at the upcoming EURO in Germany. His limited appearances—just four games—underscore his desire for a change.
As Bayern’s pursuit intensifies, the prospect of Dier’s potential departure from London’s side grows, aligning with his ambition for more field action and a pivotal role on the international stage next summer.
