AS Monaco has officially confirmed that England international Eric Dier will join the club on July 1, 2024. The 31-year-old defender has agreed to a four-year deal to keep him at the Ligue 1 side until June 30, 2028.
Dier is currently on loan at Bayern Munich from Tottenham Hotspur, having joined the Bundesliga giants during the January transfer window. Since his arrival, he has steadily earned a place in Bayern’s defensive setup and impressed with his composure and versatility.
However, Bayern have opted not to trigger the permanent option in his loan deal. Monaco moved quickly to secure his services, seeing him as a key addition to their backline for the upcoming season.
One notable implication of this move is that Dier will not be part of Bayern’s squad for the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup, which takes place in the United States this summer. As he will officially become a Monaco player on July 1, he will be ineligible to participate in the tournament with the German side.
The move marks a new chapter for Dier, who brings a wealth of experience from the Premier League, Bundesliga, and international tournaments with the England national team. Dier is expected to provide Monaco with much-needed stability and depth because he is known for his leadership, tactical awareness, and ability to play as a central defender and defensive midfielder.
AS Monaco finished strong in the previous Ligue 1 campaign and aims to return to European competitions. Dier’s arrival could prove crucial in their pursuit of that goal.
