In a decisive move, Newcastle United has rebuffed Bayern Munich’s enhanced offer, reported to be around £13 million, for experienced right-back Kieran Trippier. Despite the player’s openness to the move, the Magpies are steadfast in retaining the English international during the January transfer window, emphasizing that Trippier is not for sale.
Trippier, who joined Newcastle in January 2022 from Atletico Madrid for £12 million, has been a pivotal figure with seven assists in 19 Premier League matches this season. However, recent dips in performance, notably in matches against Everton and Tottenham, have drawn attention. Bayern Munich, exploring defensive reinforcements, views Trippier as a potential solution.
While negotiations for Paris Saint-Germain’s Nordi Mukiele have reached an impasse, Bayern sees Trippier as a viable alternative. The 33-year-old could join fellow Englishman Eric Dier, who recently signed on loan, raising questions about Bayern’s transfer strategy according to club legend Lothar Matthaus.
As the transfer window progresses, Newcastle faces further interest in its players, with Callum Wilson and Miguel Almiron potentially attracting foreign suitors. The situation remains fluid, with the possibility of significant developments in the coming days.
