Kieran Trippier wants to leave Newcastle United – BBC Sport | OneFootball

BBC Sport have now reported that Kieran Trippier wants to leave Newcastle United.

They claim that it is due to the England defender wanting regular first team football.

BBC Sport saying (see below) Kieran Trippier wants to leave before this summer transfer window closes in eight days time, 11pm on Friday 30 August.

Everton are claimed to be possible/likely destination for the full-back.

Only seven months ago, Bayern Munich were desperate (see below) to sign Kieran Trippier and made three bids in total, the final one in January was €15m (approx £12.8m) but after Newcastle United turned that third offer, Bayern admitted defeat.

Trippier may turn 34 in September but as the Euros showed, he is still a high quality player and indeed, was one of England’s best performers, despite playing out of position on the left.

Other reports say that Eddie Howe definitely wants Trippier to stay at Newcastle.

After having had minimal time with the NUFC squad after an extended break due to England duty, it was no surprise to see Trippier on the bench against Southampton, with Livramento starting.

Bruno Guimaraes has been made team captain now, with Jamaal Lascelles a newly created position of ‘club captain’, whilst Kieran Trippier remaining vice captain, though set to not be captain during matches if he stays and plays, unless Bruno ends up injured.

It would be some come down for Kieran Trippier if he ended somewhere like Everton, although fitting in with that claimed possible new club, is the fact that it has already been widely reported that Trippier’s family have now relocated back to the north west.

If Everton, or anybody else, think they are going to get the England star on the cheap, if he indeed wants to move, then they will be badly mistaken. As well as his significant wages, I think that if Trippier did leave, then Newcastle as a minimum would be expecting at least the £12.8m that Bayern Munich offered, or more.

I really hope Kieran Trippier stays at Newcastle United, as you can’t have too many good players, or indeed too many leaders.

‘Newcastle United defender Kieran Trippier wants to leave the club this month in search of first-team football.

The 33-year-old England international was an unused substitute in the Magpies’ 1-0 win against Southampton on Saturday.

Trippier, who joined the club from Atletico Madrid in 2022, is behind former Saints full-back Tino Livramento in the pecking order for the right-back position.

Newcastle blocked Trippier from leaving the club in January following interest from Bayern Munich and Saudi Arabia.

Trippier has been linked with a move to Everton to reunite with Sean Dyche, who managed him for three years at Burnley.’

The Mag report – 24 January 2024:

‘An end to this Kieran Trippier transfer saga appears to now be in sight.

Sky Sports Germany now reporting, in a new / latest ‘exclusive’ on Wednesday, that Bayern Munich are ‘…now close to withdrawing from the negotiations’ to sign Kieran Trippier.

They report that  ‘After new internal discussions this [Wednesday] morning, Bayern currently do not plan to submit a new offer.’

Journalist Florian Plettenberg of Sky Sports Germany going on to say that ‘Bayern bosses are unwilling to pay any price and they don’t want to do anything unreasonable. Bayern was willing to pay €15-16m, no more. This offer was rejected by Newcastle yesterday.’

After an opening feeble loan offer that was naturally rejected, Tuesday brought news that after  an €8m (approx £6.9m) was turned down by Newcastle United, Bayern Munich had gone back in yesterday with a €15m (approx £12.8m) bid, also knocked back.

Hopefully this will be the end of it and Newcastle United (including Kieran Trippier) can concentrate on winning at Fulham and progressing to the FA Cup fifth round on Saturday night.

As for Bayern Munich, I think they come out of this really badly. Clearly trying to unsettle the Newcastle United player and it would appear, feeding info to the German media, the most pathetic thing of course was trying to steal away a key current NUFC player on a loan deal initially.

The Mag report – 23 January 2024:

Early on Tuesday, German media reported that Bayern Munich were going to try and get agreement on a Kieran Trippier move from Newcastle United.

As always, difficult to know what to believe.

However, as today (Tuesday 23 January) progressed, there were claims in English and German media, as well as elsewhere, that a second offer to buy Kieran Trippier, had been made.

Bayern Munich hadn’t helped themselves at the weekend when trying to land the England defender and Newcastle United captain on a cheap loan deal, laughable.

However, as well as others, ESPN said their information today was that Bayern Munich had put a second cash offer in. They said their sources had told them that the initial permanent offer had been €8m (approx £6.9m) from the Bundesliga club, which not surprisingly had been rejected earlier by Newcastle. ESPN (and others) saying an improved second bid had gone in today.

Now, both German media and their counterparts in England, including Craig Hope at The Mail, are saying that the second Bayern offer was €15m (approx £12.8m), but this also has been rejected by Newcastle United.
