Besiktas is actively searching for a new center-back as they prepare for the upcoming season.
Besiktas have now turned their attention to Bayern Munich’s experienced defender, Eric Dier, and initial talks are already taking place. Here’s the latest on this exciting potential transfer.
While Besiktas is still fighting to secure a spot in European competitions this season, the club is already looking ahead and aiming to build a competitive squad for next year. One of their main goals is to bolster the defense, and 31-year-old Eric Dier from Bayern Munich is now on their radar.
Based on feedback from Besiktas’ head coach, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the club is making moves to bring Dier into the fold. According to Fotomac, Dier’s contract with Bayern Munich expires at the end of this season, and there’s a growing expectation that he will be leaving the German giants.
Besiktas is targeting at least five key positions for reinforcement next season, including left-back, center-back, both winger spots, and a forward. Reports suggest the club is now actively pursuing Dier, who has made 20 appearances for Bayern Munich this season, contributing with one assist.
Dier’s experience is undeniable—he’s played over 450 matches in his career, scoring 16 goals and assisting 18 times, which speaks to his versatility and value on the field.
Dier has played for some of the biggest clubs in Europe, including Sporting Lisbon, Tottenham Hotspur, and Bayern Munich.
His current contract with Bayern Munich runs until June 2025, but it’s widely speculated that he could be heading elsewhere soon, with Besiktas watching his situation closely.
As the summer transfer window nears, Besiktas will be hoping to secure this experienced English defender to strengthen their squad and set themselves up for a strong season ahead.
