With the summer transfer window entering its decisive stretch ⏳, Kostas Tsimikas has emerged as a key subject of interest abroad — with AS Roma now pushing to land the Liverpool full-back.
The 29-year-old, affectionately known as the “Greek Scouser,” has slipped down the pecking order following the arrival of Milos Kerkez, who joins Andy Robertson ahead of him in Arne Slot’s left-back hierarchy. His absence from recent squads against Crystal Palace and Bournemouth has only intensified exit rumours.
Roma Step Forward ⚡
Reports from Italy suggest Roma have begun talks with Liverpool over a potential loan deal for Tsimikas, aiming to strengthen their depth behind ex-Manchester City defender Ángelino. Negotiations, however, are expected to be complicated and may take several days to resolve.
Marseille vs. Roma 🇫🇷⚔️🇮🇹
Until now, Marseille were seen as frontrunners, with Tsimikas reportedly favouring a club competing in European tournaments. The French side’s Champions League participation gives them an edge, while Roma can only offer Europa League football this season.
What’s Next for Tsimikas? 🔮
With just one year left on his Liverpool deal after this campaign, a loan would raise long-term questions about his Anfield future. Still, Tsimikas remains a popular figure among Reds fans, who will hope he secures regular football — whether in France, Italy, or by staying put as cover for Robertson and Kerkez.
As deadline day looms, the race is on: Marseille or Roma, or another twist in Merseyside? 👀
