talkSPORT reported in July that Newcastle were willing to sell the defender this summer.

There has been interest from AC Milan as well as clubs in Turkey, while Bayern Munich remain admirers and were close to signing him in January.

Trippier has also been replaced as Newcastle captain for this season, with Brazilian Bruno Guimaraes taking his place.

Trippier started six of England's seven games at Euro 2024 this summer, with the 2-1 final defeat to Spain being the only one in which he did not feature.

Everton could now offer him a way out this summer, with the right-back working with Sean Dyche at Burnley.

The former Tottenham player will also turn 34 next month.

Asked about Trippier at a recent press conference, manager Eddie Howe said: “I don't think Kieran is openly looking to leave.

“He's been doing very well in training this week, he's come back with the ambition to play and fight for his place, like every player does in pre-season. I see a player who is totally committed.”

“I see him as an important part of the team and the squad in the future, but as long as we are in this moment with FFP affecting the club, there is still the possibility that someone could leave.

“I'm not going to talk about individual players, but naturally with the arrivals there will also be departures.”

Newcastle's next game is against Bournemouth on Sunday, with kick-off at 2pm.
