Trippier interest is over, says Bayern Munich
Bundesliga champion Bayern Munich has officially ended its pursuit of Newcastle United full-back Kieran Trippier.

However, Thomas Tuchel’s side has now admitted defeat in its attempts to lure him away from Tyneside.
Sporting director Christoph Freund said: “The Kieran Trippier issue is over. We only do what we are 100 per cent convinced of.”
Newcastle has also rejected a loan bid for striker Callum Wilson from Atletico Madrid, while Saudi Arabian club Al-Shabab has expressed an interest in fellow front Miguel Almiron.
None of the three players are understood to be agitating for a move.
Potential buyers have set their sights on the Magpies since chief executive Darren Eales admitted that they may have to sell players to buy in order to comply with profit and sustainability and financial fair play rules after a embarking upon £400 million ($772 million) spending spree since their Saudi-backed owner took over in October 2021.
