Eric Dier is back on Bayern Munich’s list of options for centre back this month.
The Bundesliga giants approached the Tottenham defender in the summer and the 29-year old remains in the thinking of Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel particularly as he can play in various positions and would be cheaper than other options as he is out of contract in the summer.
Bayern have made an enquiry to Tottenham and have a verbal agreement in principle over terms with Dier but have still to decide which defensive target they proceed with.
Chelsea’s Trevoh Chalobah is also on Bayern’s list, as Mail Sport has reported, but match fitness is in Dier’s favour.
Chalobah is expected to be fully fit by the end of this month, he is younger at 24 and has worked with Tuchel before but would ultimately cost more.

Thomas Tuchel is said to be desperate for new signings and Dier (R) has been on his list since last summer
Bayern would prefer an initial loan while Chelsea want to sell, as with Borussia Dortmund target Ian Maatsen, to raise funds for a striker and left back.
Dier has had interest from clubs in France as well as England but some have been hoping he is handed a free transfer this window. He is free to talk to foreign clubs this month.
Tottenham are willing to let him go as they are hoping to sign Radu Dragusin from Genoa.
