And at present the Bavarians are not expected to come back with an improved offer for the 33-year-old.

Bayern director Christoph Freund told Sky Sports Germany: “The Kieran Trippier deal is off.

“We only do what we are 100 per cent convinced of."

While not agitating for a move, it is believed that Trippier was keen on linking up with former Tottenham pals Harry Kane and Eric Dier in the Bundesliga.

Newcastle have insisted they do not want to sell their talisman but a bid north of £15m could have been too good to turn down for a player turning 34 this year.

The Geordies need to sell to buy to navigate Financial Fair Play rules but boss Eddie Howe was desperate to keep Trippier.

He has been instrumental in transforming the Tynesiders’ fortunes since arriving for £12m in January 2022.

The full-back led the Toon to a fourth-placed finish last term as well as qualification to Europe's elite competition for the first time since the 2002-2003 season.

The England international has so far amassed a total of three goals and 18 assists in 81 appearances.

Nevertheless, Newcastle could still lose some instrumental players amid reports they have agreed a shock deal to let Miguel Almiron leave for Al-Shabab in Saudi Arabia.

AC Milan are also ready to submit a bid to land Callum Wilson on a permanent deal.

Wilson appears keen on a switch to Milan where he would link up with fellow England internationals Fikayo Tomori and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
