Disappointment for Eric Dier as Bayern Munich already questioning transfer

Bayern Munich are reportedly questioning their decision to sign Eric Dier on loan from Spurs.

That’s according to a recent report from Sport Bild (via ESPN), who claim the English defender has failed to impress since moving to Germany.

Despite being familiar with Thomas Tuchel following the German’s time in the Premier League, Dier, 30, has struggled to become a first-team regular and has started just three Bundesliga games.

And according to these latest reports, the Bavarians’ recruitment department are already questioning their decision to sign off on a loan deal with Spurs at the start of last month.

Although Bayern retain the option to buy the 30-year-old permanently, it seems unlikely they will do so — which would leave the Englishman without a club due to his contract at Spurs expiring at the end of the season.

During his 10 years in London, Dier, who came through Sporting Lisbon’s youth academy, directly contributed to 25 goals in 364 games in all competitions.
