Eric Dier to leave Bayern Munich this summer
However, he has struggled for regular game time under Vincent Kompany this season, making just 13 starts in the Bundesliga and three in the Champions League among 25 total appearances.

Sporting director Christoph Freund said at a press conference on Friday: 'We had discussions with Eric about a new contract.
'He told us that he doesn't want to extend and will leave us.
'He's a great guy. We had a great time together. Hopefully he crowns his time with us with his first title.'
Dier looks certain to leave Bayern with the first piece of silverware of his career, with Kompany's men able to seal the Bundesliga title with a win over RB Leipzig this weekend.
His fellow former Spurs star Harry Kane, also set to end his trophy drought, will miss the game due to a one-match suspension.

Sadio Mane hit with bombshell decision after requesting to miss England fixture
Sadio Mane has been told that his Al-Nassr days are numbered as they eye new transfers with the Senegal icon also asking to skip his country's game with England are heavy criticism Al-Nassr have told former Liverpool star Sadio Mane that he can leave the club this summer as they look to bring a top class replacement to Saudi Arabia. It continues Mane's torrid time since leaving Anfield, which he did after they lost the Champions League final in 2022. He was a star with the Reds, forming one of Europe's most fearsome attacks, but has been unable to continue that form since leaving English shores. A move to Bayern Munich last just a season and now Al-Nassr, where he's played alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, have told him he can seek pastures new after two seasons in the Middle East. There are rules over how many foreign players can be in a team and the Saudi outfit have set their sights on Alejandro Garnacho. The Manchester United star has struggled to convince Ruben Amorim, who has left him on the bench for key games, and a move away from Old Trafford is being discussed and could ultimately suit all parties. Mane's former Liverpool team-mate Luis Diaz was also seen as an option, but Arne Slot claims he wants to retain the player. That is despite the Colombian admitting he's not held contract talks with those at Anfield as he considers his next move.

The Three Lions will host the African nation at the City Ground in Nottingham in a matter of days. Mane asked to be left out of Senegal's showpiece friendly against England after being targeted by critics and trolls over his recent performances for the African country. The 33-year-old was gutted to be singled out for widespread stick after the two World Cup qualifiers against Sudan and Togo in March. His request to miss Friday night's clash against the Republic of Ireland and the meeting with England and cited 'personal reasons', which were reluctantly accepted by coach Pape Thiaw. Thiaw said: 'It is a personal decision that belongs to Mane - and I respect it as a coach. Sadio is a very important player for us. But I don't coach one player, I coach 26 players, and so the most important thing is the collective. I have put together a squad of players who are available and ready to fight with pride for the national jersey.'

PLAY TEAMSHEET: Can YOU name the Arsenal team that beat Sunderland 2-0 in 2017? Or pick YOUR team and guess their starting XI
Welcome back to Teamsheet... Mail Sport's original football memory game with a twist that gives you the chance to test your football knowledge against your mates. Back in 2017, Arsenal were at a slight wit's end but hunting a Champions League spot. Though they eventually missed out, they made sure the race went to the final day by beating Sunderland 2-0. The Black Cats themselves finished rock bottom, but can now look forward to a return to the top flight after winning this year's Championship play-offs. We, though, want to know if you can name the Arsenal side that Arsene Wenger named on that day in 2017. It's just for fun, so see how you fare and share your Teamsheet score... full instructions on how to play are at the bottom of the article and in the game itself. And you can also pick any team you like and guess their starting XI. Best of luck! HOW TO PLAY The aim of the game is to score as few points as possible! If you guess a player at the first attempt you score one point - so the lowest score for guessing every player at the first attempt is 11. Guess a correct letter in the right position, and it'll turn green. Guess a correct letter but in the wrong position, and it'll turn yellow. You have six guesses for each player - and if you fail, we'll reveal their identity for 11 points! You can also ask for a free letter, but it costs you a point. So play on to see if you'll score the best possible total of 11 - or fail on every player and score 121.

Ryan Gravenberch on Liverpool success, fitting nickname and Arne Slot influence
Ryan Gravenberch played an integral role in Liverpool's Premier League title win, with new manager Arne Slot using the 23-year-old midfielder in a more defensive role Ryan Gravenberch has been 'different gravy' for Liverpool this season - which fits in perfectly with the nickname that's been given to the Dutchman on international duty. 'Gravie' has enhanced his reputation in Holland for being a serial winner during his two seasons at Anfield, becoming Arne Slot's midfield enforcer as the Reds were crowned Premier League champions after his debut campaign under Jurgen Klopp ended with a Carabao Cup medal. The 23-year-old won three Eredivisie titles with Ajax, as well as two Dutch Cups, the Bundesliga and German Super Cup with Bayern Munich, and was part of the Holland Under-17s team that became European champions in 2018. Gravenberch said: 'The realisation about how much I have won so far isn't quite there yet. Maybe it will come later. It all goes so fast. Of course, I know that winning the Premier League is one of the biggest prizes you can win. 'For the past four weeks, it has just been a big celebration. The celebrations and the bus ride were wonderful to experience. It has been a super great season and that makes me proud. The Premier League is the strongest league in the world. I showed myself to the world again and achieved my goals.' It took Gravenberch time to find his place at Liverpool following his £33.7million arrival from Bayern. He had also struggled in his one and only season in the Bundesliga after moving to Germany from Ajax after breaking through at the Amsterdam club under the guidance of Erik ten Hag. The Dutchman made a respectable 21 Premier League starts under Klopp. Yet Slot's bold decision to move him into a more defensive midfield berth immediately reaped dividends, with Gravenberch making 37 starts in 38 games as the Reds romped to the title. Gravenberch said: 'When the coach told me about where he wanted me to play, I just thought 'when can I start?' I knew I could do it, even though defensively I sometimes had my doubts. I do think I took a big step forward because it actually went naturally. 'From the first training session it went pretty well. As the season went on, opponents started to put a different pressure on us and closed us down through the middle. But that created space somewhere else. It was up to us to find the free players. 'How did I do that physically? Good question. It's a matter of recovering well, where the people at Liverpool also deserve a big compliment. Football has become a running sport - running, running, running. 'The intensity is of course higher than before, especially in the Premier League. I have that by nature. I can run. But at Ajax, the emphasis in training was more on technique and positional play. In England, you have to run a lot more.' Gravenberch hopes his emergence as a key performer at Anfield will enable his international career to flourish in a similar way. The Dutchman didn't feature for a single minute during last summer's Euros, when Holland reached the semi-finals before losing to England. Gravenberch added: 'That's how it goes in football. What happened at the European Championships can happen - and then you have to move on. At Liverpool I was given the chance to become a base player and to show myself. 'That was my goal and I succeeded. But I still have no idea yet what my role will be exactly for the national team because the coach can go in different directions with me. 'I can play in all positions in midfield, but especially at 'six' and 'eight'. I am curious to see what he chooses. Before at Ajax, I really wanted to play left-half, but now I don't care anymore.'
