English soccer player Eric Dier represents both the England national team and Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League. Dier is a defensive player with versatility who has played right back, center back, and defensive midfield. He has attracted a lot of interest from many clubs recently with German giants Bayern Munich being the most recent club linked with him.
However, Eric Dier, a defender for Tottenham, and Bayern Munich have reached an agreement according to Football Insider. The 29-year-old Spurs player, who has fallen out of favor, is getting close to making a spectacular transfer to the German powerhouses, where he will rejoin White Hart Lane icon and former teammate Harry Kane.
🚨 EXCLUSIVE! 🚨 – We’re told Eric Dier has sensationally agreed terms with Bayern Munich. Tottenham star will reunite with Harry Kane – Spurs need to complete defender signing before he can go. ✍️

Dier is rumored to have decided on the decision to go with Bayern in a move that is fully supported by Kane, and it will happen once Tottenham completes the signing of a new defender. Given that Dier’s contract expires at the end of the current campaign, Tottenham is happy to let him leave. They won’t, however, approve his transfer to the Bundesliga winners unless they have a backup on the defensive line.
It remains to be seen how this story unfolds in the coming days as Spurs need to sign a CB before selling Eric to the German giants. Eric has been growing frustrated due to a lack of game time at Spurs under their new manager Ange.
Manchester United ready to hijack Spurs’ CB signing
According to sources in Italy, Manchester United is “willing to pay” Genoa’s asking price for defender Radu Dragusin, who is linked to Tottenham. The Romanian international has been linked to both Premier League teams in recent weeks, and both are anticipated to buy a central defender during the winter transfer window.
🚨 JUST IN – the transfer has been agreed as I have reported previously now the both parties discuss the pay structures.
The structure of the deal needs to benefit both parties.
Deal combination worth between £25m-30million with add ones.

Another player that Erik ten Hag and Ange Postecoglou are keeping an eye on is Jean-Clair Todibo of Nice if a move for Radu fails. According to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, the Genoa player has already “said yes” to joining Spurs on a personal terms agreement. Daniel Levy, the chairman of Spurs, is willing to pay about £22 million ($27.8 million), which is slightly less than Genoa’s £26 million ($33 million) valuation.
Although Tottenham has made good headway in bringing Dragusin to the Premier League, there are rumors that Manchester United is willing to sabotage the agreement. After scoring against Inter, the player’s “price has risen again,” according to Italian news outlet TuttoJuve, and Genoa is now requesting $43 million (£35 million). It remains to be seen what happens in the coming days with this transfer.
