Thomas Tuchel reportedly believes that signing Eric Dier from Tottenham could help Bayern Munich win the UEFA Champions League.

The reigning Bundesliga champions are in the market for a versatile defensive midfielder who can also provide cover at centre-back, a role that Dier ticks all the boxes for.

With Tottenha♓m reportedly keen on selling the 29-year-old England international, it makes sense why Dier has now emerged as a target for Bayern, despite the strangeness of the 💫entire rumour.

And now, , the Bav🙈arian giants believe that signing a player like Dier could be key 🎀in Bayern winning the Champions League this season.

The German side haven’t won the competition♛ since 2020, and with Bayern topping their group this season, additions this January could be key in Tuc💟hel getting his side across the line in Europe.

Indeed, the thought of Dier being the saviour to Bayern’s Champions League c🥀ampa♏ign is as hilarious as it sounds, but there could be some method to the madness.

Eric Dier could genuinely help Bayern Munich win the Champions League

With Dier hardly getting a minute at Tottenham this season, the thought of the midfieꦆlder being Bayern’s missing ingredient to win the Champions League seems farfetched.

However, the idea might not be as crazy as first imagined, with Bayern’s need for a defensive midfield൩er and centre-back support a major issue for the German side.

And whilst Dier isn’t as good as the midfielder used to be, the England international still has♏ plenty left in the tank to make a real impact at a club as big as Bayern.

Moreover, a change in scenery and culture could be what’s needed for Dier to retuꦓrn to his best, with former teammate Harry Kane already thriving in Bavaria with Bayer🔯n this season.
