Canal+ is about as credible and ITV. There's probably some truth that Betis would like to sign him but not a lot that he's actually interested. Who would want to swap a CL club to a club not even in Europe in the year of a major international tournament?

Based upon the clubs that have theoretically been interested in Trippier, we can only assume one of the following.
Kieran Trippier on Bayern Munich shortlist but Tottenham defender looks out of reach
Tottenhams Kieran Trippier is on a shortlist of right-back targets at Bayern Munich, Sky Sports News understands.www.skysports.com
1. The majority of Spurs fans are suffering mass delusions about his quality.
2. These clubs are suffering from mass delusion.
3. This is possible evidence of some type of money laundering a la Paulinho and Barca.
4. Just further evidence that most articles are based on lies, pure speculation or some type of hallucinogenic drugs.
If he's beign offered the rumoured 5 year deal at €7m a season and he does actually have a dodgy knee like was reported after his failed Liverpool move he might be weighing it up and thinking it's the safe thing to do.
If he has got a dodgy knee and breakdowns next year with barely months on his contract he'd be writing off his peak years. If the Betis offer is the only one on the table, it might be a case of taking the sensible, guaranteed option.

I don't know which defender would slot right in to our starting 11. Maguire and de Ligt are going at rates we won't match. Then maybe Ruben Dias or John Stones, if the later is surplus to requirements at City. Dunno.
...but Sanchez, now 23, I would expect him to step up his game. He always looks solid when playing for Colombia.
It's so weird, if his career continues in Betis. Always destined for the big scene.
Apparently Betis offering much higher wages than Lyon
A number of news sources in both France and Pain carrying a similar story
I wouldn't dismiss it at the moment. Besides which if Betis have a pile of cash from Lo Celso deal just a question if who they sign (doesn't really concern Spurs) but they can only do a deal once Lo Celso sold. And as Lyon have to sell Fekir (as I said in last post,) it's just a question as to where he goes.
In a world of crazy transfer fees, to think you could get a Fekir for the price of a 2016 Sissoko, or 5m more than a 2017 Aurier, seems fucking outrageously good value.
And as we know there is s lack of quality RBs around atm, hence interest iin Trippier.....and hence we bought Airier who hasn't shone so far for us
Maybe but I’d imagine there is a reason Poch is going for Lo Celso rather than Fekir.
Mate - I wasn’t being sarcy - I agree with you. I got half way through my message and then got called by the Mrs ... and accidentally clicked send lol.
I think it’s good business - and I don’t have a problem with Toby walking for free after what he has contributed. The biggest risk is that Saliba doesn’t turn out to be all that ...
Fekir has a major medical oroblem (failed Liverpool medical).
Hence price - think back to players like Denver Barr and Rossi to understand pricing and risk in signing such players.
That is why Spurs won't sign him - probably cannot get insurance for him
Don't forget we took another ex E youth hopeful on loan for about 6 months as a favour to an agent a year or two ago....then released him
I'm scratching me 'ead.
Yeah, there's stories about bad knees, but still, doesn't seem like he's been affected at Lyon.
And we paid cash money for Tracey from Ebbsfleet.
I think with all transfer news it's best to assume number 4 until proven wrong.
Honestly, I have a small fear about this. We are so excited to get rid of Trippier that we will walk into an even bigger problem without him. Hell, not even Aurier could walk into the role.
Trippier was very, very poor for much of last season, poor enough that I would look at some combination of Aurier, KWP and Foyth as having a good chance to improve upon that position.
But at the same time, we know Trippier is a better footballer than what he showed. This is the same guy who pushed Kyle Walker out of the side and was perhaps England's top performer in their run to the semifinals of a World Cup.
That World Cup denied him a proper preseason and may have swollen his head a bit, and it could very well be that he's poised to return to his top form. When it was Napoli betting on that I was willing to consider it a beneficial change of scenery for all parties. But now Juve, Atletico and Bayern are sniffing around? These are some of the smartest clubs in the world who have apparently come to the conclusion that we're irrationally giving up on a good player in his prime for a cut-rate fee. That scares me.
I guess you don't know what you've got till it's gone.
