Reports Suggest £80,000-a-Week Liverpool Defender May Exit Anfield Following Slot’s Decision
Liverpool left-back Kostas Tsimikas could be on his way out of Anfield this summer, with interest coming from both Premier League and Spanish clubs, according to sources from GIVEMESPORT.
The Greek international appears open to a new challenge after spending most of his Liverpool career as a backup option.
Since joining the Reds from Olympiacos in 2020, Tsimikas has consistently played second fiddle to Andrew Robertson, stepping in primarily during domestic cup matches or when the Scotsman has been unavailable due to injury.
However, despite the arrival of new head coach Arne Slot, Tsimikas’ role in the squad may not see much change.
Potential Departure on the Horizon
Interest from clubs in England and Spain
Tsimikas, who signed a contract extension in late 2023 worth around £80,000 per week, is reportedly considering his future due to limited playing opportunities.
While Liverpool are not actively trying to move him on, growing interest from other clubs has put his situation in the spotlight.
Several La Liga sides are said to have made preliminary contact, and Premier League teams are also monitoring the 29-year-old’s availability.
Tsimikas is believed to be open to a transfer if it offers regular first-team football and the right career move.
As Slot heads into his second season with Liverpool, decisions about squad depth and player roles are expected to take center stage.
If Tsimikas does move on, Liverpool will need to find suitable cover for Robertson, whether through a new signing or internal promotion.
The club has already made a £40 million investment this summer, bringing in Hungarian full-back Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth.
Although no deal is currently imminent, Tsimikas’ future remains a storyline to watch as Liverpool’s transfer window progresses.
