Kieran Trippier has reportedly agreed on personal terms with Turkish side Euypspor as he negotiates a way out of Newcastle United.
According to The Daily Mail, Kieran Trippier could be on his way to Turkey in the coming period. The experienced Newcastle ace has agreed on personal terms with Istanbul-based Euypspor, managed by former Turkish international Arda Turan, as he is also reportedly in talks with the Magpies over his contract situation.
Euypspor agrees on personal terms with Kieran Trippier
Not many around the English shores might have heard of Euypspor, as they do not come across as a famous club from Turkey compared to their more famed rivals like Fenerbahce, Besiktas and Galatasaray. However, the IStanbul-based club have come into prominence following the appointment of former Barcelona and Atletico Madrid midfielder Arda Turan as their manager.
Turan wants to add a more experienced face to his setup before the Turkish window shuts in two weeks. Euypspor have set sights on Experienced Newcastle ace Kieran Trippier, as the report states the 33-year-old has agreed on personal terms with the Turkish side.
The report claims that the Turkish side is not in a hurry, as they are waiting for Trippier to conclude his discussions with Newcastle, where he is trying to find a solution. The story also writes that the full-back might be in talks to terminate his contract, with hints that he might be willing to take a payday for one of the two years left on his existing deal. The club wanted good money to sell him, which is why no one came around.
Newcastle boss Eddie Howe had indicated earlier when the campaign opened that Trippier is not guaranteed minutes and has since played second-fiddle to Tino Livramento. He had interest from Everton but was not keen on a switch as it did not suit what he wanted from his career at this point.
Tripper could still prove instrumental for Newcastle
Newcastle United did not make a big noise in the transfer window this summer and had to make do with whatever they had. They have a few critical stars out injured, and in their quest to break back into the top four, he could still play a key role, albeit as a second-choice player.
However, with the Turkish market still open and personal terms in place with Euypspor, Trippier could leave for a new challenge in Istanbul. Any deal will depend on how he can conclude his time at Newcastle, as the Turkish side does not appear to be in the mood to pay anything in the way of a transfer fee.
