Kostas Tsimikas is reportedly keen on leaving Liverpool for a European club after AS Roma made an approach to sign him. Here’s the latest on this developing story ¹:

Tsimikas’ Future at Liverpool Uncertain

– Expected to Leave: Tsimikas is expected to depart Liverpool, with the club preparing to part ways with the 29-year-old left-back. Despite his contributions to the team’s recent successes, Liverpool seems to be looking for a fresh start.

– European Club Interest: Several European clubs, including AS Roma, Marseille, and two other unnamed clubs, have shown interest in signing Tsimikas. Roma’s approach was for an initial loan deal, but Liverpool might insist on a permanent sale.

Reasons Behind Tsimikas’ Departure

– Limited Playing Time: With the arrival of Milos Kerkez, Tsimikas’ playing time is expected to be limited, making a move to another club an attractive option for him. He wants to play regularly and feels that joining a European club will give him the opportunity to do so.

– Contract Situation: Tsimikas has two years remaining on his contract, and Liverpool might look to sell him to avoid losing him for free in the future.

Potential Impact on Liverpool

– New Signing: Liverpool has already identified Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez as their primary target for the left-back position. Kerkez’s signing would likely pave the way for Tsimikas’ departure.

– Transfer Market Activity: Liverpool’s transfer activity this summer has been significant, with signings like Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike. The club might look to offload players who don’t fit into their plans, with Tsimikas being one of them.

Other Liverpool Players’ Futures

– Harvey Elliott: Elliott’s future at Liverpool remains uncertain, with Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig reportedly viewing him as a potential replacement for Simons. No concrete offer has been made yet, but Elliott’s situation will be closely watched.

– Other Potential Departures: Fellow youngsters James McConnell and Kaide Gordon have also been linked with moves away from Anfield. Liverpool might consider loan approaches for youngster Lewis Koumas, with several clubs, including Sheffield United and Preston North End, showing interest ².
