On January 7, Beijing time, Premier League team Newcastle officially announced that it had signed England international Trippier from Atletico Madrid, and it is reported that his transfer fee is 12 million pounds.
In October last year, saudi consortium PIF completed the acquisition of Newcastle, which is worth as much as 320 billion pounds, making it the richest boss in football, far surpassing other giants. However, the Magpies have had a poor record this season, with 11 points in the Premier League rounds, second-to-last, and in danger of relegation.
In order to stay in the Premier League in relegation, Newcastle added reinforcements after the winter window opened, and the number one target was England international Trippier. The 31-year-old right-back made his debut from Manchester City's youth training, playing for Burnley and Tottenham Hotspur before joining Atletico in 2019 and assisting 6 assists in 28 La Liga games last season, helping the Sheets army win la Liga titles.
In fact, as early as last summer, Trippier wanted to return to England, and at one point he was close to going to Manchester United. Now, he has finally got what he wants, and Newcastle has paid Atletico a transfer fee of £12 million, and the two sides have signed for 2 and a half years, and by June 2024, the weekly salary is £100,000.
In addition to Trippier, Newcastle also wants to bring in at least three more players, including defenders, midfielders and forwards, Arsenal's Aubameyang, Barca's Dembele, Juve's Ramsey, Everton's Digne, and Lille's Botman, all of which are possible candidates.
