Bayern Munich exit confirmed for Monaco-bound Eric Dier | OneFootball

Bayern Munich have confirmed that Eric Dier (31) will leave the club at the end of the season. The Englishman is expected to join AS Monaco.

Dier’s contract at Bayern Munich will expire at the end of the season. The Bavarian club have been engaged in attempts to extend his deal, however, the club’s sporting director, Christoph Freund, has confirmed that Dier will leave the club upon the expiry of his current deal.

“He informed us that he would not extend and that he would be leaving us,” said Freund in a press conference on Friday. Dier’s departure comes despite “good talks” between the club and the former Tottenham Hotspur player. The Englishman joined last summer on a free transfer after an initial six-month loan spell.

He will now be a free agent and, as initially reported by L’Équipe, he will join AS Monaco. The deal to bring him to the Principality has already been concluded, Fabrizio Romano added. He is set to join on a two-year deal with the option to extend for a further 12 months.
