In a potential transfer shake-up, Newcastle star Kieran Trippier is actively pursuing a move to Bayern Munich, sources reveal. The Bundesliga champions, led by manager Thomas Tuchel, have initiated discussions with the Magpies after securing a verbal agreement with the experienced English defender.
Trippier, who joined Newcastle in January 2022, is reportedly open to the prospect of joining Bayern. While the Magpies are unlikely to favor a loan deal, they may consider a permanent sale at the right price, as they seek to address financial concerns amidst profit and sustainability issues.
Despite playing a pivotal role in Newcastle’s successful late-season campaign last year, Trippier’s form has come under scrutiny during the current season’s challenging run. With Newcastle CEO Darren Eales hinting at potential player sales following reported financial losses, manager Eddie Howe acknowledges the inevitability of adapting to Financial Fair Play regulations.
If the move materializes, Trippier would reunite with former Tottenham and England teammates Harry Kane and Eric Dier at Bayern Munich. The situation adds intrigue to the evolving dynamics of the January transfer window, keeping fans on the edge of their seats with anticipation.
