Kieran Trippier is more likely to leave Newcastle United on a free transfer next year rather than making a move before the current window closes.<\/p>\n
Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider\u2019s Inside Track podcast<\/a>, former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson<\/a> explained that the Magpies are keen to keep the 34-year-old at St James\u2019 Park for one more season.<\/p>\n Trippier has one year remaining on his current contract and no talks have been held about a renewal, although it has been suggested he could play his way into a new deal.<\/p>\n Robinson told Football Insider on 17 August that Newcastle are likely to reject offers for Trippier<\/a> this summer as he remains a key player for Eddie Howe<\/a>.<\/p>\n The boss remains keen to keep his vice captain in the North East beyond this summer given his prominent role both in the starting XI and the dressing room.<\/p>\n Ahead of their return to the Champions League<\/a>, Howe values Trippier\u2019s experience and know-how as a vital asset to their possible success.<\/p>\n This article contains exclusive comment from Paul Robinson, a football pundit and former England, Tottenham and Leeds goalkeeper.<\/p>\n MORE FOOTBALL INSIDER STORIES<\/p>\n The right-back\u2019s future has been the subject of plenty of speculation for over a year at St James\u2019 Park, with Saudi Pro League and Turkish teams also linked with moves.<\/p>\n Former Man United chief scout told\u00a0Football Insider\u00a0during the mid-season window that\u00a0Trippier remains keen to stay at Newcastle<\/a>\u00a0and had snubbed Galatasaray.<\/p>\n Now, Robinson has explained that the Magpies are prepared to let the former England international leave on a free, although he could still extend his stay.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s hardly worth them selling him,\u201d he told Football Insider.<\/p>\n \u201cGiven the value he has in a Champions League side, what he brings to the dressing room and what he brings on the pitch, you\u2019re going to have to pay a lot more than that to replace a player like Kieran Trippier.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a no-brainer to hold on to him for another year, and if he then leaves on a free, so be it.<\/p>\n \u201cThe finances add up because they\u2019re playing in the Champions League.<\/p>\n \u201cIf they can be convinced to hand him a new deal if things go well this year, it would make a lot more sense to keep hold of him than let him go now.\u201d<\/p>\n Bilal El Khannouss could join Jacob Ramsey at St James\u2019 Park<\/p>\n While speculation about potential sales continues to rumble on at Newcastle, they are also making efforts to improve Howe\u2019s options in the transfer market.<\/p>\n Football Insider revealed on 17 August that Newcastle want to sign Leicester\u2019s Bilal El Khannouss<\/a> alongside their deal for Aston Villa\u2019s Jacob Ramsey.<\/p>\n Howe is planning a busy end to the window as he aims to strengthen his squad ahead of their return to Champions League football, with multiple targets on their radar.<\/p>\n This comes after Brown told\u00a0Football Insider\u00a0that\u00a0Newcastle and Leeds are interested in El Khannouss<\/a>\u00a0late in the window should he become available.<\/p>\n For more Newcastle United and exclusive news, follow us on Facebook<\/a> or join our brand new WhatsApp
