Eric Dier is back on Bayern Munich's list of options for centre back this month.
The Bundesliga giants approached the Tottenham defender in the summer and the 29-year old remains in the thinking of Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel particularly as he can play in various positions and would be cheaper than other options as he is out of contract in the summer.
Bayern have made an enquiry to Tottenham and have a verbal agreement in principle over terms with Dier but have still to decide which defensive target they proceed with.
Chelsea's Trevoh Chalobah is also on Bayern's list, as Mail Sport has reported, but match fitness is in Dier's favour.
Chalobah is expected to be fully fit by the end of this month, he is younger at 24 and has worked with Tuchel before but would ultimately cost more.
