BOMBSHELL TRANSFER SHOCKER: Newcastle Superstar’s Journalist Insider Just DROPPED the Ultimate Bombshell – He’s DITCHING the Magpies THIS SUMMER in a Move That Will Leave Fans ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATED! You Won’t Believe What’s Coming Next!
Newcastle United full-back Kieran Trippier set for summer departure
The defender is approaching the end of his contract, which expires at the conclusion of the current campaign, and all indications suggest he will not commit to an extension with the Premier League outfit.
Journalist Craig Hope has since stated on his YouTube channel that the experienced full-back is expected to depart once the season comes to a close.
Trippier has also been strongly linked with a possible exit on several occasions in the past, and it now appears that a summer departure is increasingly likely.
Kieran Trippier set to move on
His next destination remains uncertain, but there is no doubt Newcastle will feel his absence.
Since arriving at St James’ Park, the 35-year-old has been an excellent signing, offering leadership, consistency and quality in key moments.
Newcastle are already short of options at right-back, and losing Trippier would further expose their lack of depth in that position.
The England international’s versatility has been a major asset, as he is capable of operating on either side of the defence.
In addition, his delivery from set pieces has been a vital weapon, and that is another area where Newcastle would struggle to find an immediate replacement.
Where could Trippier go next?
With his career now entering its latter stages, the defender may prioritise regular playing time over competing at the very highest level.
A move to either Major League Soccer or the Saudi Pro League could appeal, offering a reduced physical demand while extending his playing career.
Trippier is currently recovering from injury and is expected to return in time to face Crystal Palace.
Before then, he will be determined to make a final impact.
