Kieran Trippier is gearing up for a move away from Newcastle United in January, cutting short his holiday plans to reunite with former teammates at a European giant. The 33-year-old right-back joined the Magpies in January 2022, returning to the Premier League after a stint with Atletico Madrid in Spain.
Trippier, who had a notable career with Tottenham Hotspur and Burnley, played a crucial role in Newcastle's return to the Champions League under Eddie Howe. Despite being a consistent performer, speculation surrounds his future at Newcastle as his contract is set to expire in the summer of 2025.
According to the Daily Mail, Trippier has flown home from a mid-season holiday in New York in a bid to seal a move to German giants Bayern Munich.
Despite Bayern's initial attempts, Newcastle has reportedly rejected their approaches, insisting that Trippier is not for sale unless an irresistible offer comes in.
Trippier is said to be open to the move, but he is also content at Newcastle under manager Eddie Howe. If the transfer goes through, it will mark Trippier's second move abroad in his career.
He would reunite with former Spurs teammates, including Harry Kane, who joined Bayern for €100m in the summer, and Eric Dier, who made the move in January.
