Bayern Munich have opened talks over a new contract for England defender Eric Dier.
The 31-year old former Spurs centre back has earned praise from coach Vincent Kompany in recent weeks and he is set to be rewarded with an extension to his current deal which expires in the summer.
Dier’s versatility will prove vital as Bayern fight to progress through to the Champions League semi finals and another Bundesliga title.
They are also without key defenders Dayot Upamecano and Alphonso Davies owing to new long-term injuries.
Davies is out for around six months after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament while on international duty and Bayern are considering legal action against Canada Soccer.
Bayern sporting director Christophe Freund confirmed talks are underway with Dier’s representatives while they are also negotiating new contracts for Thomas Muller and Leroy Sane who has been on Arsenal’s radar.
