Kieran Trippier transfer: Newcastle defender could leave St James' Park this month

Kieran Trippier could leave Newcastle in the next fortnight with a number of Turkish and Saudi Arabian clubs still in discussion over a potential move.
Turkish Super Lig trio Fenerbahce, Besiktas and Eyupsor have all made enquiries to Newcastle to take Trippier on loan with an option to buy him, after he made just one substitute appearance in the opening three Premier League games of the season.
Al Ittihad have also tried to sign him, but with the Saudi transfer deadline due to close Monday night, a move there now looks unlikely.
Trippier has two years left on his current contract in the North East.
The Turkish transfer window closes on September 13, and all three potential offers from Super Lig clubs make it clear that they are prepared to pay the vast majority of Trippier's Newcastle wages, which would make him one of the highest-paid players in the Turkish top flight.
Newcastle turned down a substantive bid of £15m from Bayern Munich for Trippier in January.
At 33 it is thought Trippier is desperate to play regular first-team football and he retired from international football last week to focus on getting the most out of his club career.
He is not agitating for a move away from St James' Park, where he still has a very close relationship with Eddie Howe. However, the player is clearly frustrated at losing his starting place at right back to Tino Livramento - who has just received his first senior England call-up.
Newcastle are adamant they do not want to sell Trippier, despite his lack of game time, feeling he is a key leader in the dressing room.
After a difficult window on Tyneside, when they missed out on their number-one target in Marc Guehi, and also failed with a late deal worth up to £50m for Nottingham Forest's Anthony Elanga, allowing Trippier to leave on loan would likely be another unpopular decision in the minds of the Newcastle fans.
