Trippier, 31, waved goodbye to Atletico’s supporters after their 2-0 victory over Rayo Vallecano on Sunday.

Boss Diego Simeone then confirmed that he wants to leave – with the deal nearing completion.

Simeone said: “We want him to stay – he’s a very important player.

“But nowadays, when a player wants to leave, you can’t force them to stay.”

Newcastle are claimed to have matched Trippier’s release clause, believed to be £31million.

A relegation release clause is set to be included in the deal, guarding against the Toon’s perilous situation at the bottom of the table.

Trippier could make his Newcastle debut against Cambridge in the FA Cup this weekend.

England international made the last of 114 appearances for Spurs in the 2019 Champions League final.

He subsequently joined Atletico, winning last season’s LaLiga title with the Spanish giants.

The former Spurs and Burnley ace could be the first of SIX Newcastle transfers this month.

Eddie Howe’s side have also been strongly linked with Aaron Ramsey, Anthony Martial, James Tarkowski, Ousmane Dembele and even Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
