There are growing rumours that the former Tottenham Hotspur defender could soon return to the transfer market only 10 months after his Spurs exit.
Dier was a crucial player for Tottenham over a decade, making over 360 appearances for the club. His commitment to Spurs was unquestionable, and he became integral to the team’s defense.
However, in January, after ten years with Tottenham, Dier decided to join Bayern Munich. Many saw this move as a dream transfer, as it saw him reunited with Harry Kane, his former Tottenham teammate, at one of Europe’s biggest clubs.

Initially, Dier enjoyed a positive start in Germany under Bayern’s then-manager, Thomas Tuchel. Tuchel praised the signing, calling Dier an excellent addition to the squad.
It seemed like the perfect opportunity for Dier to continue his career at the highest level, with the added benefit of playing alongside some of the best players in the world, including Kane.
However, the situation changed when Vincent Kompany replaced Tuchel as Bayern’s head coach. Kompany, who had been a renowned centre-back himself, made it clear that he preferred other defenders, such as Kim Min-jae and Dayot Upamecano, ahead of Dier.
According to information from Florian Plettenberg, Bayern Munich is unlikely to renew Dier’s contract when it expires at the end of the season.
This would mark a significant shift in Dier’s career, as he would be forced to consider his options for the future. While he had a strong start in Germany, the arrival of Kompany has made his position in the squad less certain.
