Trippier, closer to leaving now

Kieran Trippier (31 years old) was a signing who fell on his feet at Atlético. He arrived in the summer of 2019, from Tottenham, to take the place of a club icon like Juanfran. And, immediately, there was communion with the stands. As if English was born. However, two summers later, the picture was different: Trippier was going concentrated with his selection, England, to the European Championship and the English press revealed a locker room conversation. The rojiblanco confessed to his teammates that he only thought about going out, that I was only thinking of going back, to the Premier, that only United wanted.

Soon, those newspapers were filled with news about the future of English. Trippier, key to the league title Atletico for his connection with Marcos Llorente, asked for a salary increase that, with the crisis caused by COVID, Atlético could not give him. Atlético also stressed something to all his suitors: only a previous payment of his clause would come out. None of those who wanted paid for it. Trippier continued. But he could leave in January, with that the ‘Daily Mail’ dawned. Because, as much as that word is in Trippier’s head, United, and as much as United wants Trippier, the money with which the Sheikh Mohammed bin Salman has arrived at Newcastle can unlock the red-and-white door. The footballer would offer to be the highest paid of his squad.

Two conditions to let him out

His interest is insistent, day by day. And Simeone could go green on his way out with two conditions. The first, that the club find a replacement, fundamental. Right now, in his absence due to absence, after suffering a grade III sprain in his shoulder on November 7 at Mestalla, Llorente has played as a converted side. The natural replacement, now also injured, after suffering a broken face against Porto and still playing the 90 ‘, is Vrsaljko. The second, arrives in the offices, where they expect Newcastle to reach a little more than 17 million euros for the player (15 million pounds, according to the English newspaper).
