The latest actions of Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone suggest that Newcastle United\u2019s swoop for Kieran Trippier may not be quite as close to completion as previously thought.<\/p>\n

Atleti star eyed<\/h2>\n

Recent days, of course, have seen chatter surrounding the future of English international Trippier kick up a notch.<\/p>\n

This comes with the right-back widely understood to be inching towards a Premier League return, on the back of prior spells with the likes of Burnley and Tottenham.<\/p>\n

His predicted landing spot? Newcastle United.<\/p>\n

After opting to buy long-time owner Mike Ashley out of his share of the club late last year, the new Saudi-based conglomerate at St. James\u2019 Park, over the coming weeks, will finally be afforded the opportunity to flex their financial muscle on the transfer front.<\/p>\n

Deals, in turn, are expected for a whole host of high-profile stars from across the continent, with Trippier, as things stand, looking closest to completion:<\/p>\n
