As HITC Football revealed, Trippier remains open to joining Bayern and it is believed that they have not completely backed away from a deal as they continue to work on that another their other full-back target in the shape of Paris Saint-Germain’s Nordi Mukiele. Sources believe they are determined to land one of them.
