Bayern Munich defender Eric Dier has announced his departure from the club at the end of the season after rejecting a new deal offer to stay at the Allianz Arena.
The 31-year-old transitioned to the Bundesliga side from Tottenham in January 2024, initially joining on a six-month loan.
That summer, the German club secured his permanent transfer, and Dier has since made 45 appearances for the six-time Champions League champions.
“We held talks with Eric regarding a new contract,” stated sporting director Christoph Freund.
“He informed us that he prefers not to extend and will be parting ways with us.
“He’s an excellent individual. We’ve shared memorable moments together. I hope he finishes his journey with us by claiming his first title.”
