Kieran Trippier has made it into everyone’s team of the season in Spain after his brilliant campaign for Diego Simeone, but he’ll never get near the club’s all-time XI if he walks away this summer.
The England right back switched agents towards the end of last week in another indication that his time in Spain might be about to come to an end. The move to CAA Base Ltd, who have another Manchester United target, Raphael Varane, on their books, points to a possible return to the Premier League after one of the most successful, albeit so-far short, stints abroad for an English player in years.
