Newcastle reportedly turn down £12.8m offer from Bayern Munich for Kieran Trippier as Magpies make their stance clear
Newcastle United have rejected a £12.8m bid from Bayern Munich for Kieran Trippier, according to reports. Trippier is reportedly a priority target for Bayern, with the German champions submitting a third offer after two previous unsuccessful proposals. Newcastle have stood firm in their stance that Trippier will not be leaving the club before the transfer window closes. Although Trippier is open to the idea of joining Bayern, he will respect Newcastle’s desire for him to stay. The club’s manager, Eddie Howe, is also keen to keep Trippier amid the team’s injury crisis. Trippier is likely to remain at Newcastle until the end of the season, and it remains to be seen if Bayern will make another bid before the transfer deadline. Newcastle have been expected to sell players this month to comply with Premier League financial rules, but they will continue to reject bids for Trippier. Miguel Almiron and Callum Wilson are also subjects of transfer speculation, with Almiron linked to a move to Al-Shabab and Wilson drawing interest from Atletico Madrid and AC Milan.
