Atletico Madrid set price for Man Utd target Trippier - and won't budge

Atletico Madrid have set their price for Kieran Trippier.

With Manchester United in contact, Atletico are in no mood to consider negotiations and instead have stated the England fullback can leave for a fee of €30m.

Despite being 31 years of age, Atletico are confident United will eventually meet their valuation.

For his part, Trippier is eager to see the deal closed and would be happy to return to the Northwest in order to be closer to his family.

Should he depart, Atletico will seek to buy a replacement, though there is also the option of playing Marcos Llorente at fullback.
