According to Florian Plettenberg, Tottenham Hotspur will part ways with Eric Dier in the current transfer window. Bayern Munich are ready to sign the 29-year-old utility player and Spurs have given him the green light.
Eric Dier and a rollercoaster ride at Tottenham:
Eric Dier joined the North London club in the summer of 2014. He has been a great servant of the club and an integral part of their first team for almost a decade. He started out as a central outfield player but has featured in several roles over the years. Last season, the 29-year-old was at the heart of Tottenham’s defence, but a lot has changed since then.

He was relegated after the arrival of Ange Postecoglou and has made just four appearances for Tottenham this season. The England international is keen to play regularly in the first team and Spurs are ready to cash in on him as his contract expires at the end of the season.
Bundesliga calling?
Bayern Munich are interested in his services as their manager Thomas Tuchel is a big admirer of the 29-year-old and believes he could be a perfect asset for the club. The German giants wanted to sign him in the summer but were unable to agree personal terms with the player.
Despite their failure in the summer, Bayern are keen to sign him in the current window. Tuchel has already spoken to the player and told him that he will use him both as a central defender and as a defensive midfielder. In the meantime, Dier has reached a verbal agreement with the club on a transfer. He wants to move to Germany and Spurs will not stand in his way.
Bayern Munich have offered him a contract until the summer of 2025 for a transfer fee of less than €5 million. Everything is in place for the transfer and once the Bundesliga champions have made their final decision, we will have the official confirmation of the transfer.
