The 33-year-old England international, whose contract expires next summer, has been a key figure for Newcastle but could be deemed surplus to requirements.
Per the source, the Magpies would be open to allowing Trippier to leave as they are unlikely to be renewing his contract.
The emergence of Tino Livramento as a potential long-term replacement has further fueled speculation about Trippier’s future.
The Turkish club are exploring the possibility of signing Trippier to bolster their right-back options.
They had previously targeted Rennes’ Guela Doue for the position but have now turned their attention to the Newcastle defender.
Galatasaray face stiff competition for Trippier’s signature, with interest from Bayern Munich, Saudi Arabian clubs, AC Milan, and Olympiakos.
Despite potential departures, Newcastle’s primary focus remains on strengthening the squad with new signings. The club is targeting a new centre-back, right-winger, and potentially a goalkeeper.
Trippier’s future at Newcastle remains uncertain as the transfer window progresses.
