German giants Bayern Munich are reportedly keen on signing Newcastle and England right-back Kieran Trippier. According to Sky in Germany, Bayern's pursuit of Paris Saint-Germain's Nordi Mukiele on loan has hit a roadblock, leading the club to consider Trippier as an alternative option. The 33-year-old defender has caught the attention of Bayern, managed by former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel, who have been extensively discussing his potential transfer over the past couple of days.
Trippier, who joined Newcastle for £12 million from Atletico Madrid in January 2022, has shown promise this season with seven assists in 19 Premier League matches. However, his performance has recently taken a dip, characterized by several mistakes leading to goals in Newcastle's defeats to Everton and Tottenham. In the Carabao Cup quarter-final loss against Chelsea, Trippier's clumsy backpass cost his team a late equalizer, resulting in a penalty shootout defeat.
