NEWCASTLE are demanding £13million for Kieran Tripper but Bayern Munich prefer a loan, according to reports.
The German giants have begun talks with the Toon over a deal for the right-back.
Bayern are keen to sign him to add to their English and former Tottenham contingent of Harry Kane and Eric Dier.
But the Bundesliga side have suffered a blow in their pursuit of Trippier as Newcastle are refusing to let him go for under £13m.
The signing of Trippier could prove pricey with the 33-year-old reportedly demanding a £200,000-a-week salary.
He also supposedly wants a contract until 2025.
And reports from Bild now claim that Bayern only want him on loan.
Newcastle are desperate to keep hold of Trippier and are determined to not let him go this month.
They are set to reject any loan offers and will only sell if Bayern’s bid is deemed too good to refuse.
Trippier is supposedly open to joining Thomas Tuchel’s men and has cut short a holiday in New York to discuss a transfer.

However, Bayern could turn their attention to PSG star Nordi Mukiele.
Trippier has made 18 appearances for Newcastle this season and assisted eight goals.
He has earned 46 England caps in his career.
