Kieran Trippier is prepared to make a transfer to Bayern Munich while Newcastle United weighs their financial situation.

Kieran Trippier is reportedly open to a move to Bayern Munich, with Newcastle United considering player sales to balance their finances. The Mirror states that Trippier is prepared to leave Newcastle for Bayern after the German champions made an approach for the England right-back. Although Newcastle have rejected the initial offer, Trippier’s desire to join Bayern could influence the deal in the coming days.

The 33-year-old is open to reuniting with his former Tottenham teammates Harry Kane and Eric Dier in Munich, but it will require a significant fee to make the transfer happen. Trippier’s contract expires in 2025, but he has been unsettled, leaving Newcastle with a crucial decision to make. Bayern will not be able to secure Trippier on loan, and Newcastle are seeking a substantial fee that they can reinvest. There is also the possibility of a loan deal with an obligation to buy in the summer. Sources in Germany suggest that Bayern are hopeful of completing the deal, which is cheaper than their pursuit of Paris Saint-Germain right-back Nordi Mukiele. Newcastle recently admitted that they are open to player sales following losses of over £140 million in the past two years.

Aston Villa continues their pursuit of Morgan Rogers, despite having two bids rejected by Middlesbrough. The Mail reports that Villa manager Unai Emery remains keen on signing the forward and is also considering a move for Elfsborg goalkeeper Hakon Valdimarsson. Middlesbrough have turned down two offers from Villa for the 21-year-old Rogers, who joined the Championship side from Manchester City just six months ago. Rogers impressed against Villa in the FA Cup and was previously discussed as a potential target when Villa sold Jack Grealish to City. Meanwhile, Villa has made an approach for Icelandic goalkeeper Valdimarsson from Swedish side Elfsborg.

Southampton boss Russell Martin has warned Chelsea that they will need to make a substantial offer to sign Kyle Walker-Peters. The Sun reports that Chelsea has identified Walker-Peters as a potential replacement for the injured Reece James. However, Southampton is reluctant to sell the 26-year-old full-back as they aim for an immediate promotion back to the Premier League. Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly interested in bringing Walker-Peters to Paris Saint-Germain, but Martin has made it clear that it would take a significant sum of money to convince Southampton to part ways with their key player.

Wolves defender Yerson Mosquera is set to join Villarreal on loan for the remainder of the season. The Athletic reveals that the 22-year-old Colombian still has a future with Wolves, but the club wants him to gain first-team experience. Mosquera had previously been on loan at MLS club FC Cincinnati, where he played in 26 matches last season, scoring two goals and providing two assists. Wolves see Mosquera as a potential first-team player in the future, but they believe he needs more game time and experience before becoming a regular in the Premier League. The loan move to Villarreal does not include an option or obligation to buy the center-back.
