Eric Dier Nears AS Monaco Move After Bayern Stint

Bayern Munich defender Eric Dier is set to leave the club at the end of the season after deciding not to extend his contract, which expires on June 30, 2025. Dier, who joined Bayern from Tottenham in January 2024 and has made 45 appearances, has played a key role, especially during periods of injury within the squad. Despite Bayern considering an extension, Dier is in advanced talks with AS Monaco for a three-year contract with an optional fourth year, attracted by increased playing time and contract length. Bayern’s sporting director Christoph Freund praised Dier’s impact and hopes he will win his first senior trophy as the club nears the Bundesliga title. The move is expected to be finalized after the season, with Monaco offering a deal through 2027. Dier’s departure will prompt Bayern to reassess their defensive options while Monaco aims to strengthen its squad for European competition.
