Kostas Tsimikas Wanted By Roma As Liverpool Push For Permanent Transfer

Kostas Tsimikas might leave Liverpool soon. AS Roma have officially approached to sign the Greek defender, initially seeking a loan. While the player is interested in moving, Liverpool insist on a permanent transfer, as they are not considering loan options according to recent reports. Two other European clubs are also keen on signing him.

WHAT HAPPENED?

AS Roma met Liverpool on Monday to discuss signing Kostas Tsimikas, who is now the third-choice left-back at Anfield. The Greek defender was not part of Liverpool’s squad for their 4-2 Premier League victory over Bournemouth, and he is not expected to feature in the upcoming match against Newcastle United. Tsimikas wants to play regularly and is eager to join Roma; however, Liverpool are only considering a permanent departure, contrary to Roma’s preference for a loan. Additionally, two other clubs are interested in Tsimikas, and talks between the involved parties are ongoing as the transfer deadline approaches. Negotiations over Tsimikas’s future are expected to move quickly with the transfer window closing in two weeks as noted in a previous update.

TSIMIKAS AND TEAM PERFORMANCE THIS SEASON

Tsimikas joined Liverpool in 2020 and has made 115 appearances for the club, often serving as a backup for Andy Robertson. Recently, he has also been behind the club’s new signing, Milos Kerkez. In the last season, Tsimikas did not score but provided valuable assists and played a crucial role in Liverpool winning the Premier League, as a backup option to Andy Robertson. Liverpool have started this season strongly, defeating Bournemouth 4-2, and are now preparing to face Newcastle United, who finished fifth last season. Liverpool are close to the top of the table, and a win tonight will see them join Arsenal and Tottenham at the top and being two points ahead of Chelsea. On the other hand, Roma finished fifth in Serie A last season and are focusing on strengthening their defense following a disappointing season.

WHAT NEXT FOR TSIMIKAS AND ROMA?

If Roma and Liverpool can reach an agreement, Tsimikas could arrive in Rome before the transfer window closes. A decision is expected soon, with Liverpool favoring a permanent transfer while Roma continue to push for a loan. Roma’s next game is against Pisa, who drew their opener at Atalanta . Roma won their opener and finish last season in fifth. Meanwhile, Liverpool are set to face Newcastle United, who are positioned seventh in the Premier League could go to the top if they win their match tonight. With increasing competition for spots, each team’s squad might undergo significant changes as the transfer deadline nears.
