Kieran Trippier has departed Newcastle United, ending a tenure that saw him become a key figure in the club's resurgence. The England international joined Newcastle in January 2022 from Atletico Madrid for a reported fee of £12 million, helping the team avoid relegation and later qualify for the Champions League.
Trippier made over 100 appearances for Newcastle, contributing goals and assists from right-back. His leadership and set-piece expertise were instrumental in the club's transformation under manager Eddie Howe.
As of May 16, 2026, Trippier's next destination has not been officially confirmed, but reports link him with a return to his boyhood club Manchester City or a move abroad. Newcastle fans have expressed gratitude for his contributions.
