TuttoMercatoWeb have claimed that Jose Mourinho has now contacted Eric Dier about the prospect of joining AS Roma in the January transfer window.
The report states that while Roma are keen on securing Dier’s services, the deal is only ‘possible’ if one condition is met. That is the England international would have to sign on an initial loan deal since the Giallorossi do not have any money to spend in January.
Their preference is that the Spurs star signs on a sixth-month loan deal before signing a long-term contract at the Italian capital once he becomes a free agent in the summer.
The outlet also reveals that Dier would want a three-and-a-half-year deal at the Stadio Olimpico, which could be a stumbling block to an agreement.

Could Eric Dier end up playing for Roma?
As a result, Mourinho is alleged to have contacted the centre-back in an attempt to get the transfer over the line.
This report comes a day after AS Roma Live reported that those at Roma would have taken notice of Dier’s performance in the London derby against Chelsea in what was his first appearance of the season to date.
The outlet stated that the centre-back sent ‘important signals’ to the Serie A side with his display, showing that he still has ‘quite a bit to offer’.
Spurs Web Opinion
I see no reason for Tottenham to loan Eric Dier out in January. If the club are going to lose him on a free transfer next summer, they might as well keep him around as an emergency backup option until the end of the season, especially given Micky van de Ven’s recent hamstring injury.
