Third in Ligue 1, AS Monaco was able to secure its place on the podium last Saturday by overcoming Olympique Lyonnais (2-0). The Principality club therefore knows that it will participate in the next Champions League and has therefore decided to strengthen accordingly. If the Asemist defense was not catastrophic (3rd best defense, 37 goals conceded), it can nevertheless be more waterproof and it lacks a real leader.
To support Wilfried Singo, Thilo Kehrer or Mohammed Salisu, Adolf Hütter's team therefore decided to bet on an element of experience in the person of Eric Dier. Sacred this German champion season with Bayern Munich, the 31 -year -old central defender arrived at the end of the contract with the Rekordmeister. Not extending, he therefore freely joined AS Monaco as part of a three -year contract.

Arrived in the winter of 2024 in Bayern Munich at the request of Thomas Tuchel, he had less playing time this season with the appointment of Vincent Kompany. However, the second part of the season and the injury of Dayot Upamecano gave him playing time and he has 27 appearances for 3 goals and 1 offering. An element of experience that Monaco is waiting for firm foot.
