Dier wants to be Kane's partner again.

Europe's top teams are working during the January transfer window to add some players to help them raise the team's level and face the second half of the season. During this first half of 2024, the decisive matches of each league will be played, in addition to the knock-out stages of the Champions League, and that is why everyone wants to be prepared.

Bayern Munich are no exception. They had a great performance in the European tournament, topped Group A and easily advanced to the round of 16, where they will face Lazio. However, in the Bundesliga they are in second place in the standings behind Bayer Leverkusen, while they were surprisingly eliminated in the German Cup against Saarbrücken, a team from Germany's third division.

The Bavarian side had some problems during the first half of the season, especially in defense, and they want to correct this in 2024. That is why coach Thomas Tuchel requested the recruitment of a centre-back to compete with Dayot Upamecano, Kim Min-Jae and Matthijs De Ligt.

The chosen one is Eric Dier, a 29-year-old English player. He has been playing in the Premier League for a decade with Tottenham Hotspur and there he has shown great performances that allowed him to reach the English National Team. However, this season he has not had a place in the team due to coach Ange Postecoglou's decision. For that reason he accepted Bayern Munich's offer and this week he traveled to Germany to join the squad.

The manager confirmed it

According to Sky Sports, this Thursday Eric Dier landed in Munich to undergo medical tests and sign his contract with Bayern. And then boss Tuchel officially confirmed: "He is in Munich at the moment and we are trying to close the deal".
