Newcastle United right-back Kieran Trippier is understood to be in talks over terminating his contract at St James’ Park, with an exit now viewed by sources as increasingly likely.
Trippier had chances to leave Newcastle during the summer, and CaughtOffside understands there is still plenty of interest in him from clubs in Europe and elsewhere.
Turkish club Eyupspor have offered Trippier a 1+1 year contract if he leaves Newcastle. Sources also suggest that if Trippier departs from Newcastle, he could receive offers from clubs in the Saudi Pro League.
Al Nassr and Al Ahli could be two possible destinations for Trippier, though they have not yet made formal offers for the former England international, who recently announced his retirement from representing his country.
Trippier transfer: Newcastle right-back likely to leave
Some Newcastle fans will perhaps be disappointed by this development, but it seems the Magpies are now expecting to lose Trippier, with discussions ongoing about coming to an agreement on the contract termination.
The 33-year-old is pushing to still receive the rest of his remaining Newcastle salary even if he does leave the club, and it remains to be seen what the outcome of these talks will be.
Fenerbahce and Besiktas could also be clubs to watch in the race for Trippier’s signature.
