FC Bayern is looking for a defender to play on the right side of defense. New in sight: Kieran Trippier from Newcastle United.
If FC Bayern does not reach an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain about a winter transfer of Nordi Mukiele, the 46-time England international Kieran Trippier would be the first alternative. This is what “Sky” reports. Rumors of interest in the full-back had only recently started circulating.
The 33-year-old was offered to the German record champions, the TV station said on Friday evening. Other clubs, such as those from the English Premier League, have also been contacted.
What could be a case for a winter change: A loan deal without an obligation to buy would be possible for FC Bayern – a preferred scenario by the Bundesliga club’s squad planners. The personnel has now been discussed at Bayern. The analysis concluded that Trippier could definitely provide immediate help.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano also reported on Friday that the Munich team was taking a closer look at the 33-year-old. Head coach Thomas Tuchel is said to have already given the green light to sign the right-back.
Another plus point could be that Kieran Trippier could receive prominent support as he gets used to Munich. He once played with both Harry Kane and Eric Dier at Tottenham Hotspur before moving to Atlético Madrid in 2019 and Newcastle United in 2022.
“Sky” meanwhile pointed out that no verbal agreement had been reached with Trippier. A quick transfer conclusion is therefore unlikely. In any case, PSG professional Nordi Mukiele should continue to be the preferred candidate for defense.
However, a deal with Paris Saint-Germain is proving difficult. According to the broadcaster, the French are insisting on a loan with an obligation to buy, while the Munich team allegedly only want a purchase option.
