Eric Dier will join Ligue 1 side Monaco when his Bayern Munich contract expires on July 1.
The 31-year-old defender made 20 league appearances in helping Bayern to the Bundesliga title this season, the first major trophy of his senior career, and will move to the principality on a three-year deal.
In recognition of his contribution to Vincent Kompany’s side’s success, Dier was given a standing ovation by supporters at the Allianz Arena as well as a special presentation by the club ahead of Saturday’s 2-0 win over Borussia Monchengladbach, the team’s final home match of the campaign.

Monaco, managed by Adi Hutter, will play in next season’s Champions League having secured a top-three finish in France.
Dier last played for England in 2022 but was a surprise signing, initially on loan, by Bayern from Tottenham last January having struggled for playing time under Ange Postecoglou.
On arriving in Munich he was reunited with former team-mate for club and country Harry Kane, with whom he celebrated the German title on Saturday.
