There will be movement at Bayern Munich next summer. Yesterday, the Bavarian club formalized the departure of Thomas Tuchel at the end of the season. Heavily criticized for placing the German giant eight points behind the leader of the ranking, Bayer Leverkusen, the former PSG and Chelsea technician could not be the only one to pack up.
Recruited by Bayern this winter to everyone’s surprise, Eric Dier (30 years old) had been a reinforcement ardently requested by Tuchel. The latter wanted to strengthen his defense, but no one anticipated the arrival of a player not really renowned for being one of the best in his position. Today, Sports Bild tells us that the English defender is no longer really popular in Bavaria.
Six months and then gone?
Clearly, with the future departure of Tuchel, Bayern is seriously considering getting rid of this TT-branded recruit, who was one of the 6 club players to support their coach. As a reminder, Dier signed a contract until June 30, 2024 with an additional year optional. The German media even adds that the Munich residents are obliged to pay a purchase option of €3 million from a certain number of matches played. A minimal investment that Bayern would not wish to make.
German management doubts the English international’s class and many find him too slow. An observation that club legend Lothar Matthäus will not deny, who severely criticized Dier and Trippier, when these two were announced as close to Bayern. “Are these players reinforcements? Eric Dier hasn’t necessarily been a key player at Tottenham lately. I remember that Uli Hoeness said he no longer wanted to bring in players who are on the bench of other clubs. » Unless the situation changes, Eric Dier can already ask his agent to find him a new club for this summer.
