Tino Livramento started ahead of him in the Toon’s Premier League opener against Southampton on Saturday.
Trippier also relinquished the captain’s armband as Bruno Guimaraes became the on-field skipper.
According to The Athletic, Trippier is keen for a move with Everton among those interested in him.
Newcastle rejected a £12.8million bid from Bayern Munich in January.
Earlier this month, he was linked with a move to West Ham before they closed a deal for Manchester United right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
Everton are understood to have held “initial conversations” with Newcastle over a deal for Trippier – who turns 34 next month.
It is believed it would be a loan transfer.
The ex-Burnley defender worked under Toffees boss Sean Dyche for three years at Turf Moor.
