Tottenham Hotspur could see the reunion of Harry Kane and Eric Dier at Bayern Munich cut short, as the Bundesliga club reportedly has doubts about Dier’s ability and pace.
Bayern signed Dier on loan from Tottenham in January, with an option to extend the loan for another 12 months. However, recent reports from Sport Bild suggest that Bayern is not convinced about Dier’s performance, particularly his lack of pace, and is likely to end the loan this summer.
Dier has made only five appearances for Bayern, starting in three of those matches. The club’s recent poor form, losing their last two Bundesliga games and the first leg of their Champions League tie against Lazio, has raised concerns.
Despite Dier being on the bench during these matches, Bayern’s management reportedly questions his suitability for their squad.
If Dier returns to Tottenham, it is anticipated that the club will consider selling him during the summer transfer window. Under manager Ange Postecoglou, Dier has had limited opportunities, making just one Premier League start in a 2-1 defeat against Wolves.
Tottenham strengthened their defensive options by signing Micky van de Ven in the summer and Radu Dragusin in January, pushing Dier down the pecking order.
Given the circumstances, Dier’s agent might explore potential summer moves for the English defender. Dier will likely aim to play a role in Bayern’s upcoming match against RB Leipzig, hoping to make a positive impact and secure his place in the squad for the remaining part of the loan spell.
However, with doubts arising about his future at Bayern, a return to Tottenham and a potential departure during the transfer window seem increasingly likely.
