According to The Athletic, a ‘tight scenario’ is brewing surrounding Eric Dier’s future because the player’s contract ends next summer and Spurs want to cash in on him this summer.
Ange Postecoglou does not appear to have a crush on the Englishman. He was not named to the squads for the first two Premier League games, indicating that he is not in the manager’s plans.
According to the source, while the player may wish to stay at the club this season to compete for a starting spot and then move on a free next year, the management is interested in selling him. Fulham are reportedly interested in signing him on a permanent basis.
Dier, on the other hand, is not interested in a permanent move but is open to a loan deal.
At this moment, it appears that a free transfer away next summer is the most likely scenario.
Last season, the 29-year-old did not have the best of seasons and received a lot of criticism for his poor performances, causing concerns about his status in the club.
Ange Postecoglou has stated that he wants a strong defence, and the club is actively seeking to bring in defensive reinforcements.
Micky van de Ven from Wolfsburg and Ashley Phillips from Blackburn have already joined the club.
They also hope to sign at least one more centre back before the transfer window closes.

With less than a week to the conclusion of the transfer season, it appears unlikely that Spurs will be able to sign another top-tier centre-back in time.
This means that any injury to the first-choice centre-backs would offer Dier an opportunity to fight his way back into the lineup.
It remains to be seen if he will stay or go on loan.
