Media reports claim that Monaco are keeping tabs on Kieran Trippier, who currently plays as a defender for Newcastle. The move is still in the early stages, but interest appears to be growing. Negotiations are still active, and with no other teams linked, Monaco appear to have a clear path to completing the deal. This season (25/26) Monaco have shipped 10 goals in 6 matches - 1.67 a game, which is well above the Ligue 1 average. Kieran Trippier would be expected to come in and help tighten things up at the back. Newcastle have recently been linked with Aaron Ramsdale, Brahim Diaz and John McGinn while Monaco have had no rumoured targets.
