Kieran Trippier 'is leaving' Newcastle after confirmed news - fans react

Newcastle United fans are convinced Kieran Trippier will leave the club after Bruno Guimaraes was appointed captain in place of Jamaal Lascelles.

Trippier remains the club’s vice-captain, raising questions about why he didn’t take on the increased role when it became available.

The 32-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Saudi Arabia in this summer’s transfer window with many insisting his time at St James’ Park has come to an end.

Disappointing displays last season were followed by some questionable performances for England at Euro 2024, leading fans to believe he will be moved on.

Football Insider revealed on 19 August that Newcastle are willing to accept offers for the right-back in the closing stages of the window.

With just one year remaining on his current deal at St James’, the club may look to cash in before 31 August – although sources say Eddie Howe remains keen to keep him for the coming season.

Trippier missed the opening-day victory against Southampton at St James’ Park, raising questions about his place in the squad.

He featured for the club’s Under-21s side this week as he looks to regain fitness, but Tino Livramento’s impressive pre-season form may have pushed him down the pecking order.

Now, fans are insisting he is on his way out as they took to social media in reaction to the news that Bruno had been made captain.
