Newcastle United are facing the threat of losing Kieran Trippier to Bayern Munich in the ongoing winter transfer window, according to the Chronicle.
Eddie Howe has been left frustrated by the financial constraints that have stopped Newcastle from strengthening their squad so far this month.
Newcastle are wary of breaking the Premier League financial rules and are even struggling to work out temporary loan deals in the ongoing window.
The Newcastle boss is now facing the prospect of losing one of his most important players this month.
It has been claimed that Bayern Munich are considering snapping up Trippier in the winter transfer window.
Thomas Tuchel wants to sign a right-back before the window closes and the Newcastle star has emerged as a key target.
The German champions are considering adding him to their English contingent of Harry Kane and Eric Dier.
Kane still has a good relationship with his former Spurs team-mate and is likely to endorse the club’s pursuit.
Newcastle have a ready-made replacement in Tino Livramento in their squad if Trippier is allowed to leave.
But it remains to be seen whether Howe is prepared to lose a player of his importance in the middle of the season.
