“Dier is expected to join Bayern Munich permanently”

According to The Athletic, Eric Dier has fulfilled the contractual requirements necessary to convert his summer loan from Tottenham to a permanent move to Bayern Munich.

The option, it is said, has now been activated, binding the defender until June 2025.

After the 30-year-old’s Spurs contract ends, Bayern is expected to register him as a free agent, despite having paid Spurs a £3.4 million (€4 million) loan fee.
