Even though, as per Eddie Howe's wish, the club managed to halt any move of the 34-year-old, many Qatari clubs had also come forward to consider the full-back's signing but ended empty-handed.
After losing the captain's armband to Brazilian ace Bruno Guimaraes and having taken international retirement, it is certain that Trippier doesn't want to continue in the limelight, he is currently in. So far this season, the English full-back has made only 1 start in the Premier League ahead of rising star Toni Livramento, who has been prioritized considerably over the veteran this season.
As per reports from The Sun, Kieran Trippier is still 'desperate' to complete an exit move, and being aware of the situation, he is eyeing a January move. Given his utility in the right-back role, he could still start in some of the best lineups in European football, and thus, clubs like AC Milan, Atalanta, and Fenerbahce have all shown interest in acquiring him in the upcoming winter window.
While a potential move by Trippier would free him from the undesirable situation he feels currently in, the full-back's move would have major repercussions at Newcastle. Considering the fact that only Tino Livramento, the 21-year-old prodigy, would be left with the club in case Trippier's move materializes, chances are significant of Eddie Howe's intervention in the situation.
