It is very likely that Harry Kane was involved in the transfer of Eric Dier.
"Bayern Munich have signed Tottenham's Dyer on loan until June 30, 2024 with an option to extend by one year," the club announced on its website on Wednesday. He will wear the number 15 shirt," the club announced.
Dyer, who was on Tottenham's release list, was thrilled to join one of the best clubs in the world. "This move is a dream come true for me. "This move is a dream come true for me because when I was a kid, I wanted to play for a team like Munich one day. It's one of the biggest clubs in the world and has an amazing history. I hope to help the team with my versatile defense and I'm really looking forward to my new teammates and the fans at the Allianz Arena, one of the best stadiums in the world."
Tottenham, who were on the verge of signing Radu Dragucin, were willing to overpay for Dier. Florian Plettenberg, a reporter for Germany's Sky Sports who is well informed on Munich, said: "Dier has joined Munich as a new player. It's a six-month contract with a one-year option. There is no immediate transfer fee, but a bonus clause of 2 to 2.5 million euros ($2.8 to 3.6 billion) has been inserted."
Harry Kane was delighted to be reunited with Dier, who has been a longtime teammate of his at Tottenham and the England national team. "I've known Dier for a long time, we played together," Kane said, as reported by Bavarian Football in Germany. I know how good a player he can be for Munich. He's obviously really happy and excited. It's good to see him again. I hope he settles in quickly. He's a good player as a person," he said, adding that he was happy to be reunited with Dyer.
The German Bundesliga's secretariat also recognized the reunion of Kane and Dyer. "They are friends and have played a combined 360 games together for club and country," the Bundesliga said on its official website. They have established themselves as key figures in both the Tottenham and England national team locker rooms. Dyer moved to Spurs ahead of the 2014-15 season, while Kane began to explode in North London. The two players are now reunited at the Allianz Arena," he said of their friendship.
Spurs fans know that Kane has a great relationship with Dyer. In the past, Kane has said that if he had to travel far away on an airplane, he would choose Dyer as his traveling companion. At the time, Kane said: "I wouldn't get any conversation from him. He'll probably sleep for 12 hours straight. Whatever the flight is..." he joked.
Kane's involvement in the deal was rumored early in the transfer window. "Munich have reached a personal agreement with Dier and will make a formal offer to Tottenham," the British publication Football Insider reported on June 6. Munich are looking to finalize the deal for a transfer fee of £4.3 million. Kane pushed hard for Dyer's signing. Kane and Dier have been together at Tottenham since they were kids and are very close. Kane gave Dyer a taste of life in Germany and made a recommendation to Tuchel and the Munich board."
Tuchel is also said to hold Dier in high regard. Tuchel also considered a move for Dyer last summer when the Germany international offered Munich the same deal in reverse. At the time, the deal fell through due to disagreements over contract terms.
Now that Tuchel has kept Dier, he plans to use him as a center back. "Dyer is a center back specialist. He can play on the right or the left, and he can also play in the back three, which is why we brought him to the center 메이저사이트 back position. He also played in the number six role in the Premier League a few years ago. This will allow Leon Goretzka to play in midfield," he said, expressing his high opinion of Dyer as a center back.
However, there are concerns locally about Dier's ability to succeed in Munich. For now, Dier's value as a center back hasn't been well-received at Tottenham. Under Dier in 2022-23, Spurs' defense was one of the worst in years. Spurs conceded relegation-level goals and dropped to eighth place.
In response, the German 'kicker' asked: "Will Dier do better than Daley Blind? Munich signed the Ajax captain a year ago. The signing of Blind was unproven and he was often limited to the bench. He moved to Girona last summer. It goes to show that you shouldn't rush to judgment in professional soccer. The same goes for Dier, who is no longer needed at Tottenham," he said.
