Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich are reportedly intensifying efforts to secure the services of seasoned right-back Kieran Trippier from Newcastle United.
The German club, having recently acquired English internationals Harry Kane and Eric Dier, is now eyeing Trippier as part of their defensive reinforcement strategy, according to sources from Chronicle Live (as confirmed by Fabrizio Romano).
Manager Thomas Tuchel, who has already welcomed Kane and Dier to Bayern, sees the 33-year-old Trippier as a valuable addition to bolster the team’s defensive lineup.
Trippier, known for his experience and robust style of play, is viewed as a viable solution to Bayern’s current need for a strong presence in the right-back position.
The close friendship of Kieran Trippier with fellow players Harry Kane and Eric Dier, cultivated during their time together at Tottenham Hotspur, adds an extra layer of appeal for Bayern Munich. The English right-back is considered a potential candidate to enhance the team’s defensive capabilities.
Thomas Tuchel acknowledged Bayern’s pursuit of a right-back, stating,
“We are looking for a right-back who is strong in duels. We’ll see if something is possible.”
He further emphasized the team’s adaptability with players like Konrad Laimer filling in at right-back when needed.
