Eric Dier is expected to renew his contract with Bayern Munich despite his recent sluggish defense.
The British Tribune reported on the 13th (Korea time) 'Bayern Munich is negotiating with Dyer to extend its contract until the summer of 2026'
Tribuna 'Bayern has entered into contract extension talks with Dyer, who will remain with the team until 2026. 'Negotiations are going very smoothly, and both sides are optimistic that an agreement can be reached soon.'"

Dier, who has been completely behind Tottenham's starting competition since Enze Postecoglou's appointment, wore a Bayern uniform in January 2024. At that time, Dier was excluded from Postecoglou's plan along with the worst slump, and his performance was not expected even in Bayern's uniform because he spent more time on the bench.
Dyer took the main position in the second half of last season, aiming properly for a gap where Kim Min-jae was shaken. While Kim Min-jae was shaken by the aftermath of his physical strength and various mistakes, Dyer played as a defender suitable for Tuchel's tactics with a stable performance in the game. It also became a hot topic with his finger pointing at Kim Min-jae. Tuchel praised Dyer, and Kim Min-jae was even criticized publicly by Tuchel, and the possibility of a transfer was discussed.

The position has changed since the appointment of Bangsang Kompany. Kompany, who emphasized forward pressure and fast cover, had no plans to actively use Dyer, whose slow feet are a disadvantage. Rather, Kim Min-jae consistently trusted despite a shocking error that allowed the opening game's come-from-behind goal. Germany's Bild also predicted that `Dear is expected to leave the team after the end of the season.'
However, the situation has recently turned around. Defense problems such as Kim Min-jae's injury overlapped, and the possibility of renewing the contract soared with expectations that Dyer would show a stable performance as a candidate. Bayern began to think about maintaining Dier, who was satisfied with the candidate role, and negotiations for re-signing progressed.

However, Dier's recent performance is difficult to see as a Bayern-level defender. Dyer also failed to handle the ball properly in the previous game against Dortmund, increasing Kim Min-jae's defensive burden. In particular, in the first leg of the quarterfinals of the last European Champions League, Inter Milan showed the worst performance with slow feet and wrong positioning. It reminded me of my Tottenham days. Despite this slump, Bayern seems to plan to catch Dier.
Despite his poor performance, expectations are growing that Dier will remain at Bayern for a little longer. Attention is also focusing on the outcome of Bayern's choice to leave Dyer.
