According to the World Sports Newspaper, after atletico Madrid's match against Rayo Vallecano, Sheets defender Trippier made a farewell gesture and it is understood that he is likely to move to Newcastle. However, Atletico hopes to bring in a replacement player before letting Trippier leave the team.
Simeone has informed the club's sports management that what the team needs to bring in is a right-back who can also be qualified as a centre-back. Chelsea captain Azpilicueta is ideal, with the player's contract expiring at the end of June and interested in returning to Spain.
However, it will not be easy to sign Azpilicueta, as Barcelona are watching the player and Chelsea will also give a contract extension offer, which Azpilicueta will need to decide for some time to come. In addition, Atletico are also focusing on Semedo and Pedro Polo, although they cannot meet Simeone's requirements.
