January 2024 saw a host of Newcastle United players linked with a move away from the club. Miguel Almiron, who would eventually move a year later, was linked with Saudi Arabia whilst Callum Wilson reportedly had suitors in the form of AC Milan.
Trippier was also a man in-demand and was the centre of multiple bids from Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich – the last of which saw the German club willing to part with £13m to sign the former Spurs man. However, the Magpies remained firm on their desire to keep Trippier at the club.
“The Kieran Trippier issue is over,” Bayern’s sporting director Christoph Freund told Sky Germany last year. “We only do what we are 100 per cent convinced of. Only when it fits for us and the player and also for the club the player comes from. And that wasn’t the case.”
