In the end, it became a reality. The ‘loanee’ Eric Dier (30) will continue to play alongside Kim Min-jae (28, Bayern Munich) next season.
‘The Athletic’ reported on January 1, “Dyer has confirmed a permanent move to Bayern Munich. He has fulfilled the contractual obligations required to convert his loan move to a permanent transfer this summer,” the publication reported.
Dyer is a veteran defender who most recently spent nearly a decade with Tottenham Hotspur. He joined Spurs in 2014 from Sporting CP and has made 363 official appearances for the club, playing in a variety of positions including center back, defensive midfield, and right fullback.
Dyer was primarily a defensive midfielder in his early days at Spurs, but he gradually moved into a central defense role. He was a regular starter under Mauricio Pochettino until last season, when he earned a call-up to the England national team. At one point, 카지노사이트 he was linked with a move to Manchester United under Jose Mourinho.
However, his glory days were short-lived.
Dyer slumped after a hernia and viral infection, and his slow feet, frequent mistakes, poor judgment, and shaky build-ups made him a bomb in defense.
Eventually, Dyer lost his place at Spurs. Last summer, new manager Enzi Postecoglou rebuilt the central defense with the Micky van der Vaart-Cristian Romero combination, and even when they were injured, he gave the first chance to fullbacks Ben Davies and Emerson Royal, not Dyer.
While on the bench, Dyer got a surprise offer. It came from the ‘German champions’ Bayern Munich. “He’s a center back specialist,” said Thomas Tuchel, who was looking for more center backs and signed him in January.
So Dier left Tottenham, where he had played for 10 years, to join Bayern Munich. It was a loan with an option for another year. The loan was until the end of the season.
Dier quickly made his Bayern Munich debut and has been getting regular opportunities. He made six appearances in all competitions, including four starts. Despite some shaky defending and a tendency to get his hands in the air, the German media was happy with the signing.
Dier will now play for Bayern Munich next season.
His contract extension option has been triggered. “The original deal he signed with Tottenham in January ran until the end of the season and included an option for a further 12 months,” says The Athletic. The option has now been triggered, tying Dyer down until June 2025.”
Dyer’s contract with Tottenham was set to expire at the end of this season. Bayern Munich, who paid €4 million ($5.8 million) for his services, can register him as a free agent in June. According to Die Athletik, they were happy with the leadership and contributions Dier has made so far.
Meanwhile, Dyer is expected to start against Freiburg on February 2. Tuchel is expected to start Kim Min-Jae and rest Dayo Upamecano. In addition, 토토사이트 추천 Matthias der Licht is unavailable due to suspension. Naturally, the Kim-Min-Jae-Dyer combination is the favorite to start.
