Newcastle Kieran Trippier has decided to sign with a different team.

A pretty miserable month or so continues for Newcastle United.

Yet to sign anyone during the January transfer window, it seems a key player is ready to leave Newcastle.

Indeed, Kieran Trippier has been strongly linked with a move to Bayern Munich of late, albeit Eddie Howe is thought to want to keep the £12m veteran.

Saturday, however, brought some developments.

According to respected German reporter Florian Plettenberg on X (formerly Twitter), Trippier has agreed a deal with the German giants.

For their part, those at the Allianz Arena are said to prefer the idea of signing Nordi Mukiele on loan from Paris Saint-Germain, although there is an understanding that deal could collapse.

Trippier, then, is believed to be Bayern’s Plan B and is keen to join the Bundesliga champions, who recently added former Tottenham teammate Eric Dier to their squad, along with Harry Kane in the summer.
