FC Bayern is still looking for reinforcements for the defense. After a transfer from Nordi Mukiele apparently fell through, Kieran Trippier from Newcastle United is now said to have become the focus of the Munich team. The Premier League club has already rejected two offers. Now different reports about a third offer are making the rounds.
Eric Dier is said to not have been the only player that FC Bayern lured to Munich in the current winter transfer window: the German football record champions have been intensively pursuing Kieran Trippier from Newcastle United for several days. According to consistent media reports, the German record champions have already sent two offers to the island.
The Premier League club rejected the second offer, which according to “talkSPORT” was said to have amounted to 12.6 million pounds (the equivalent of almost 15 million euros). But the Bundesliga club doesn’t want to give up, they say. FC Bayern is therefore already preparing an improved third offer.
Is FC Bayern quitting Trippier poker?
This is contradicted by a report from “Sky”. Accordingly, the German industry leader is about to say goodbye to poker in favor of the services of the English national player. The Bayern bosses sat down on Wednesday morning and decided that they would not make a new offer to Newcastle.
According to reporter Florian Plettenberg, the Bundesliga runner-up was prepared to put between 15 and 16 million euros on the table for Trippier. It is said that the offer that was recently rejected was within this framework. FC Bayern’s pain threshold has now apparently been reached. According to Sky, the people of Munich have been in agreement with the right-back himself since the weekend.
