Trippier Open to Leaving Newcastle Amid Interest

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has emphasized that Kieran Trippier remains an essential part of the team's future despite recent benchings and rumors of a potential exit. Howe attributed Trippier's current limited playtime to his late return from Euro 2024 and praised his professionalism and skills. However, Trippier, who was disappointed by the decision to promote Bruno Guimaraes to team captain, is open to leaving the club before the transfer deadline. Everton, Atalanta, and Galatasaray have shown interest, but Howe is working hard to retain the 33-year-old right-back. Although Trippier's house is up for sale, indicating a possible departure, Howe insists it is 'business as usual' and values Trippier's leadership and abilities.
