Chris Sutton has issued his verdict on reports that Kieran Trippier wants to leave Newcastle United for Bayern Munich in the January transfer window.
Kieran Trippier has emerged as an unexpected candidate to depart St James’ Park in the current month. It was two years ago when the right-back joined Tyneside, and to be honest, his signing significantly impacted the Magpies.
Nevertheless, indications suggest that he might be considering a departure. According to The Daily Mail, there is a reported interest from Kieran Trippier to join Bayern Munich, as the Bavarian club explores the possibility of securing his services on a loan basis.

Newcastle is seeking a £12 million deal before agreeing to let Trippier go. It seems that there is a willingness from all parties involved to entertain the idea of the Englishman making a move to the Bundesliga.
Trippier has faced a dip in form in recent months, yet his potential departure from Newcastle would undeniably create a significant void. During an episode of “It’s All Kicking Off,” Chris Sutton expressed disappointment at the unexpected turn of events and the apparent desire of Trippier to leave the club in this transfer window. Sutton remarked on the sudden changes at Newcastle, noting the unsettled atmosphere with players like Trippier, Callum Wilson, and concerns about Joelinton not signing a new deal, alongside challenges in bringing in new players.
