The 29-year-old’s working paper is only valid until the end of June. Most recently it was said that the Premier League club was keen to generate a transfer fee for the 1.88 meter tall right-footed player, whose market value fell steadily over the past year and fell by more than half to 12 million euros. Loud “Picture“Dier should cost less than 5 million euros and receive a contract until 2025. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano speaks of around 4 million euros.
From the Premier League to FC Bayern: Dier becomes number eight
“He’s in town. We are trying to finalize the deal and get another alternative as a central defender,” confirmed Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel a short time later at the press conference before the start of the Bundesliga year against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim on Friday (8:30 p.m.).
Dier moved from his training club Sporting Lisbon to London in 2014 for 5 million euros. In nine years he played a total of 364 competitive games for the “Spurs” and contributed 25 goals. In the past two seasons, the central defender, who can also be used on the wing and theoretically in the “six” position, was still used by the Londoners, but he no longer plays a role in the plans of the new coach Ange Postecoglou and only played four games in the current season Calls. In Munich, Dier meets an old companion, Harry Kane (30). They played together 359 times for Spurs and England.
Tottenham has already found a replacement in Radu Drăgușin (21) from CFC Genoa, and Bayern also courted the Romanian international. His advisor confirmed this on Wednesday and gave details of the Munich-based company’s offer. Tuchel, who looked after Chelsea FC for around a year and a half, knows Dier very well from the Premier League. For the 50-year-old, an improvement in defense is essential; FC Bayern’s bottleneck was resolved at the latest by the international release of the South Korean Min-jae Kim (27) for the Asian Cup in Qatar, which runs until February 10th, and the Moroccan full-back Noussair Mazraoui (26) for the Africa Cup of Nations (January 13th to February 11th). A player who can also be used on the right in the back four is still to come. The favorite is ex-Leipziger Nordi Mukiele (26) from PSG.
