Eric Dier, the former Tottenham Hotspur defender, is set for a permanent transfer to Bayern Munich this summer. This move comes after meeting all contractual obligations required to convert his loan move into a permanent one.
The original deal between Dier and Tottenham was due to run until the end of the season with an option for a further 12 months. However, that option has now been triggered, effectively tying down the defender through June 2025.
Bayern had initially paid Spurs a reported €4million loan fee. With this new development, they will register the 30-year-old as a free agent once his Spurs contract expires.
Dier has been a standout both on and off the field for Bayern
Dier's contribution and leadership skills have been well received by the German champions in his six appearances so far, including four starts. His most recent performance saw him help Bayern secure a crucial 2-1 home win in the RB Leipzig match on Saturday.
Before joining Bayern Munich on loan, Dier’s terms in North London were scheduled to end once the 2023-23 campaign concluded. He was allowed to talk with foreign clubs about pre-contract agreements before making his move.
However, he had seen reduced playing time at Tottenham this season with only four appearances across all competitions. The winter arrival of Radu Dragusin pushed him further down in pecking order as full-backs Ben Davies and Emerson Royal were preferred when first-choice pair Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero were unavailable.
