The Bavarians aim to bring back the former Tottenham Hotspur full-back to the Allianz Arena, reuniting him with Harry Kane and Eric Dier. However, Newcastle, as per The Athletic, shows no interest in striking a deal for Trippier. The report indicates that Eddie Howe is adamant about retaining Callum Wilson this month, considering both players crucial to his season plans. Atletico Madrid, led by Diego Simeone, has expressed interest in Wilson for a January transfer.

AC Milan, according to the Daily Mail, holds a keen interest in the 31-year-old striker and is eager to secure his signature this month. Wilson is reportedly open to negotiations with the Rossoneri, provided Newcastle is amenable to the move.

Despite Newcastle being on the verge of breaching Premier League sustainability and profitability regulations, they are reluctant to part ways with these key players. The pending deal for Miguel Almiron’s transfer to Saudi Arabia with Al-Shabab is expected to provide Newcastle with more financial flexibility within the profitability and sustainability rules.

While Tino Livramento is seen as Trippier’s prospective long-term replacement, Newcastle views their captain as indispensable for the current season, at the very least. Similarly, Wilson, who has slipped down the pecking order behind Alexander Isak, retains the trust of Howe as an experienced striker.

If the duo remains with the Magpies this season, they face challenges ahead, given the club’s recent dip in performance and the uphill battle to secure a Champions League spot for the second consecutive season under the ownership of the Public Investment Fund.
