Ange Postecoglou, the manager of Tottenham, has decided not to include Eric Dier in the squad to face Burnley in the third round of the FA Cup. This decision comes amid interest in Dier from Bayern Munich, as the German team looks to strengthen their defensive options with a new signing.
Postecoglou has expressed his desire to sign a new defender this month, particularly with Cristian Romero sidelined due to injury. Micky van de Ven, who suffered a hamstring injury earlier in the season, is also nearing a return to action.
The focus at the start of the January transfer window has been on potential new signings in the center-back position. While there were talks of bringing in Jean-Clair Todibo, it was ultimately decided that Tottenham would pursue a deal for Genoa star Radu Dragusin.
Meanwhile, Sergio Reguilon and Djed Spence have returned from loan spells with other clubs, but it appears that Dier may be on the way out of Tottenham.
Reports suggest that Bayern Munich is aiming for a permanent deal with Dier, and there is a verbal agreement in principle for a potential move. However, no final decision has been made, and Bayern is exploring other options as well.
This potential transfer comes after Bayern’s previous interest in Tottenham’s Harry Kane before the start of the Premier League season. It now seems that Bayern could once again do business with Tottenham and sign Dier, especially after he was left out of the squad to face Burnley.
