It seems likely that Eric Dier could leave Tottenham Hotspur in January, especially with Radu Dragusin arriving.
Sources have told HITC Football that Tottenham have beaten Bayern Munich to the signature of the Genoa defender.
As a result, it increases Eric Dier’s chances of leaving this month, especially given that HITC Football were also told last week that he has been in talks with the German club.
Graeme Souness shared that when he was in Portugal on holiday, he was told that Eric Dier has ‘desires’ of finishing his career in a country where it all started, as he told talkSPORT (08/01/24 at 11:50 am).
The 29-year-old joined Spurs in 2014 from Sporting Lisbon, and you imagine, if he wants to return to Portugal, then Sporting Lisbon will be his club.
From playing at right-back to playing in the middle of the park, he became a very important player for Mauricio Pochettino, including helping the team to the Champions League final.
But it’s fair to say that, in recent years, his form has dropped off and it’s probably the right time to start a new chapter in his career, which according to Graeme Souness, might end in Portugal.

“I was in Portugal on holiday and I was told that Dier has desires of finishing his career back in Portugal,” said Souness. “He seems a really good lad.”
Eric Dier has been a great player for Tottenham
It’s probably not ended the way he would have liked because he is still at the peak of his powers or should be playing the best football of his career.
But if you don’t suit a certain style, then you have to face it up, try to prove people wrong or go elsewhere to showcase your qualities again.
With Micky van de Ven returning from injury and now Dragusin being close to signing, then Dier will be lucky to get any minutes from now until the end of the season if he decides to stay on.
Just to get his career back on track, a move away from the club, even on loan, would be a wise call from the player.
