Bayern Munich’s Interest in Signing Eric Dier Is a ‘Message’ to Ange Postecoglou, Believes France Legend

The transfer windows never fail to surprise fans with some deals that go through. This January transfer window is no different. Tottenham defender Eric Dier is closing in on a surprise move to Bayern Munich in a surprising transfer on the cards. A French legend has also made his feelings clear on the deal. He feels that the interest of the German giants in him is a message to Ange Postecoglou.

The Spurs defender is looking to finally escape from his nightmarish tenure with the Australian coach. On the other hand, this will provide the Premier League giants with an extra budget to work with in January, allowing Spurs to sign talented players. But one French legend discussed the ability of Big Ange to keep or attract players!

France legend feels Eric Dier’s sale is a terrible message for Ange Postecoglou

Tottenham progressed to the next round of the FA Cup with a 1-0 win against Burnley. However, the absence of Eric Dier grabbed the headlines. It suggests that Bayern Munich is progressing quickly with the deal. But Frank Leboeuf feels the sale does not benefit the Spurs manager. He said, “The thing is why Bayern Munich would need a Spurs substitute to get better; that’s the thing.”

He continued, “The reality of that fact is that when you come to Bayern Munich, it is because you are a top player. Eric Dyer is an international player, of course, a good player, but he has some problems that he cannot resolve, and he is on the Spurs bench. Bayern signing him is sending a message to Postecoglou that you are not a good coach.

The Tottenham manager was asked questions after the game about the absence of Eric Dier. Ange Postecgolou made it clear that the defender was absent because he had suffered an injury. Hence, the 29-year-old did not travel with the team. But various media outlets have claimed that the England international has agreed on personal terms with the German giants.

It will be interesting to see how the Eric Dier situation shapes up in the next few days. But the reality is that the Bayern Munich move will benefit all parties involved in the deal.

Notably, Spurs are not waiting around for the sale to be confirmed. They are aware that the January transfer window is short. Hence, they are making the most of it. They have already agreed on personal terms with Genoa defender Radu Drăgușin. The Premier League giants are also pushing to agree to a fee in the region of $25 million. However, the Italian side wants a payment of $30 million.

The deal could advance quickly in the next few days, as Eric Dier will hope to impress Thomas Tuchel during his loan stint. It will also allow him to impress national team manager Gareth Southgate ahead of the Euros this year.
