Journalist Fabrizio Romano has revealed that the defender received the ‘green light overnight from Daniel Levy’ to complete the move to the German club. He has struggled for regular game time at the North London club this season and the decision to move to the Bundesliga could prove to be beneficial for him.
Bayern Munich will pay a fee of around €4 million for the England international and the player has already agreed personal terms with the German outfit. He is set to complete his medical with the Bundesliga champions today.

He will be hoping to play more often with the German champions, and he will reunite with his former Tottenham teammate, Harry Kane.
The 29-year-old is versatile enough enough to operate as a right back, a central defender as well as a defensive midfielder. He should prove to be a useful option for Bayern Munich during rotation and injuries. He has already proven himself in the Premier League over the years and he will look to make his mark in German football now.
With the European Championships coming up later this year, Dier will be hoping to play regularly and cement his place in the England starting lineup as well.
