Defender Eric Dier is staying at FC Bayern. After the decision has been made, he reveals his further ideas. The Englishman has been on the ball in seven competitive games for Munich so far: he is in the starting line-up in five matches and plays the entire season in each case.
After his future has been clarified, Bayern winter signing Eric Dier is focusing entirely on sport. “I’m very happy in Munich. Now my future is settled and I can concentrate exclusively on my performance and how I can help the club,” said the 30-year-old, according to a statement from the German champions. “We want to win games and titles again, even if it’s a difficult phase for us at the moment.”
In the championship, Munich are far behind in second place behind Bayer Leverkusen. In the Champions League, the German football record champions have to make up for a 0-1 deficit from the first leg in order to make it to the quarter-finals. According to the club, the contract of the 49-time England international has been extended by one season until June 30, 2025 due to a mutually agreed clause. Dier moved to the German record champions on loan from Tottenham Hotspur in January.
“Eric Dier’s contract has been extended by one year due to deployments. He is a valuable support in our defense with his whole personality,” said sports director Max Eberl, according to the announcement. Dier has had the ball in seven competitive games for Munich so far. He was in the starting line-up in five matches and played the entire season in each.
But Dier couldn’t prevent the next disappointment in the 2-2 draw in Freiburg. Christian Günter (12th minute) and Lucas Höler (87th) scored for Freiburg, Mathys Tel (35th) and Jamal Musiala (75th) for Bayern. In the table, leaders Bayer Leverkusen can extend their lead over Munich to ten points with a win at 1. FC Köln on Sunday. After eleven championships in a row, this impressive Munich series is coming to an end.
