In January, Kieran Trippier, who moved from Madrid to Newcastle, was one of the brightest purchases of the Premier League during the last transfer window. Immediately after the transfer, football fans started talking that the English national team defender was lured by the money of the new Newcastle investors. However, the player himself claims that this was not the main reason for his return to England. "I don't really pay attention to what people say. I know why I came back to England, and the money was definitely not the most important thing in this case. If I cared only about money, I would have stayed in Madrid. I was just very interested in the opportunity to return to the Premier League. I want to be closer to my family, and at the same time, Newcastle is a very interesting and ambitious project," Kieran Trippier said on the "True Geordie podcast" website.
