AS Roma have approached Liverpool to pursue left-back Kostas Tsimikas, proposing an initial loan while Liverpool prefer a permanent exit. Tsimikas has primarily served as backup to Andy Robertson but recently lost further standing after Liverpool signed Milos Kerkez, creating surplus options at left-back. Atletico Madrid pursued Robertson earlier but the move collapsed, increasing the likelihood of Tsimikas departing Anfield. Tsimikas signed from Olympiacos in 2020, has made 115 appearances for Liverpool with 18 assists and no competitive goals, and has two years remaining on his contract. Two other clubs are also reportedly interested.
According to Fabrizio Romano, AS Roma have approached Liverpool to discuss a potential transfer of Kostas Tsimikas from the Merseyside to the Italian capital. The Serie A side would like to sign the left-back on an initial loan, while the Premier League champions prefer a permanent transfer straight away. Tsimikas has spent most of his time as a backup option for Andy Robertson on the left defensive flank, and he was always eager to express how happy he is in that role.
However, Liverpool signed Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth this summer and the Serbia-born Hungary international appears to have moved ahead of both Robertson and Tsimikas in the pecking order, leaving one of them surplus to requirements in Arne Slot's squad. Robertson was tipped to leave for a while with Atletico Madrid interested in his services, but that move eventually fell through and now it seems Tsimikas could be the one to leave Anfield.
