Bayern end pursuit of Newcastle's Trippier


Bayern Munich have confirmed their pursuit of Newcastle defender Kieran Trippier is over. 

Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund has told Sky Germany the Bundesliga club have pulled out of the deal to sign the England full-back.

"The Kieran Trippier issue is over," he said. "We only do what we are 100 per cent convinced of. Only when it fits for us and the player and also for the club the player comes from. And that wasn't the case."

Bayern made three offers for the defender, the last of which was £13m on Tuesday night.

Newcastle rejected all of Bayern's approaches
