Looking ahead to the summer transfer window, it has been claimed that Trippier has been discussed for a potential move away from St.Jamesā Park.
As per transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, who wrote on social media: āNewcastle and AC Milan have been in contact today to discuss possible opportunities.
āNo talks about Tomori, Newcastle are showing interest in Malick Thiaw but heās important part of Milan project.ā
He added: āKieran Trippier was also discussed but nothing concrete.ā
Trippier was one of a few England players who were criticised after the Three Lions were held to a dismal 0-0 draw against Slovenia on Tuesday night.
Speaking after the match, Trippier said: āIāve got the utmost respect for Gareth for what he has done for me personally and for my England career but, of course, us players get the frustration.
āAll we can do after win, lose or draw is applaud the fans because we appreciate they have travelled out here in numbers and have spent so much money to come and support us.
āEveryone is entitled to their own opinion and, of course, they want to see more from us. Us players, we want to do more, but we have qualified. Hopefully the performances can get better.ā
He added: āBeing honest, I think we controlled the game [against Slovenia]. We created some chances, but again, we could do better. Itās fair to say, of course we can. But the most important thing is that our objective before tournament was to qualify, and weāve done that, and we topped the group.
āThe supporters spend their well-earned money to come and watch us, full credit to them because every tournament that Iāve been involved in, theyāve been incredible, out in Russia, where itās difficult to travel, and out in Germany again.ā
