Eric Dier's Bayern Munich future uncertain as focus shifts to season success

"Eric played a great game against Freiburg. We're extremely happy that he's with us," Eberl said in an interview, as captured by posts on X.

However, when it came to discussing a potential new deal for the 31-year-old, Eberl was clear that immediate priorities lie elsewhere. "At the moment there are no talks yet, we're focused on this season. I don't always have to talk about contracts, it's a tiring topic," he added.

This approach underscores Bayern's strategy of keeping the squad's attention on current achievements rather than future uncertainties.

Despite Dier's solid contributions on the field, Eberl's comments leave room for speculation about whether Dier will extend his stay past the current season.

Meanwhile, Vincent Kompany, who joined Bayern after a challenging tenure at Burnley where they were relegated, has quickly instilled his philosophy into the team.

Kingsley Coman has praised Kompany's immediate impact. "From the first moment, (Kompany) told us about the way he sees the game and wants us to play and that we have to trust him on that. I like it," Coman said, via posts on X.

He emphasized Kompany's strong mentality, drawing parallels to the high-pressing game Bayern played under Hansi Flick when they won the Champions League. "The only problem with high press is that there's space at the back. But I think when you have fast defenders, the space at the back is not that much of a problem.

"When you put so much pressure, the ball doesn't even arrive at the back that often. The most difficult thing is to keep up the intensity and repeat it every 3 days," Coman explained.

This season marks Kompany's first managing a team in a top European league while competing in continental tournaments, and so far, he has managed the demands well. His task now is to maintain this momentum, ensuring his tactical vision and leadership continue to resonate with the squad as they navigate the remainder of the season.

As Bayern navigate these crucial months, Dier's performances will play a pivotal role in both his and the team's future, with fans eagerly watching to see if his contributions will earn him a longer-term commitment from the club.
