AS Roma are looking to pen down a pre-contract with the 29-year-old Tottenham Hotspur utility man Eric Dier.
According to a report by Calciomercatoweb, AS Roma are keen on having Eric Dier in their ranks. The Serie A club are looking to sign him for free in the summer of 2024 and are looking to tie him down to a pre-contract in the winter transfer window.
Dier has been at Spurs since the summer of 2014. He has gone from strength to strength since joining the English club. The 29-year-old became one of the mainstays at Tottenham. He has featured in a total of 360 matches for the London club and has contributed towards 25 goals.
The England international was a key part of their first team until the end of the last season. However, things have changed after the arrival of Ange Postecoglou. The 29-year-old utility man has gone down the pecking order. He is not in the plans of the Australian boss and has not featured in the 2023/24 season.
With Dier no longer needed at Spurs, there are quite a few clubs interested in acquiring his services. AS Roma are one of the teams that have been linked with the England international for a while now. The Serie A outfit want to bolster their midfield and they feel the Tottenham utility man still has a few years left in him.
Jose Mourinho has already worked with Dier in the past, and he would love to have the 29-year-old in his ranks because of his versatility. The Tottenham outcast can feature in the centre of the park as well as in the heart of the defence.
Meanwhile, Dier’s contract with the English club runs out next summer. While Roma are interested in signing him, they are in no hurry. The Serie A club want to acquire his services for zero cost and are looking to pen down a pre-contract with the 29-year-old in January.
While Roma would love to get a pre-contract in place over a transfer next summer, they will have to be aware of other clubs during the winter window. There are a few clubs who could push for him in the winter and sign him for half the price. And, Spurs would love to cash in on him with his contract running out and the possibility of him leaving for free.
