Eric Dier's contract is expiring in a few months, and unlike the situation with Alphonso Davies, FC Bayern Munich does not plan to continue with the 30-year-old, who has not played much under Vincent Kompany. A return to England seems likely, with FC Brentford showing interest.

Eric Dier, who joined Bayern Munich on a free transfer the previous summer, is reportedly not well-suited to the tactical changes introduced by Bayern's new manager Vincent Kompany. The system demands that defenders play high up the pitch, which does not play to Dier's strengths. With his contract nearing its end, Bayern Munich is reportedly seeking younger defenders, such as Ousmane Diomande from Sporting Lisbon. Although Dier is struggling to secure playing time, it is said that he is not openly voicing any complaints. As a friend of Harry Kane, this relationship might affect his decision to either remain or depart. Nonetheless, his future at Bayern remains uncertain, particularly if the club acquires a new defender.

Eric Dier has fallen out of favor at FC Bayern under the direction of new coach Vincent Kompany, managing only 140 minutes of play and making a single start in the DFB-Pokal. It is anticipated that his tenure at Bayern will conclude by the summer when his contract comes to an end, as reports suggest the club does not have significant plans for him and indications suggest a parting of ways. English media has identified FC Brentford as a club showing interest in Dier.

Eric Dier was acquired by Bayern from Tottenham in January of this year and participated in 20 matches during the latter half of the 2023/24 season. However, his playing time has significantly decreased this year, with only six appearances and just one as a starter. The arrival of Vincent Kompany has relegated the English player to a secondary role in the squad. Dier's contract is set to expire in July 2025, and the German press suggests that he is likely to leave the club. Starting in January, Dier will be free to negotiate with any club for the following season.
