AS Roma are looking to bring Kostas Tsimikas in the summer as Jose Mourinho seeks a new left-back to strengthen his options.
According to Calciomercato, Jose Mourinho could look to sign Kostas Tsimikas in the summer as Roma seeks a quality left-back for next season. Liverpool may be open to doing a deal if the offer is right, as Jurgen Klopp could invest the money into his squad.
Kostas Tsimikas has been one of the eye-catching players developing in the Liverpool stable. The left-back has come in and put some impressive displays for the Reds, making 22 appearances in all competitions this season and covering for Andy Robertson when the Scotsman has been absent or given a rest.
Tsimikas has developed the way Jurgen Klopp wanted and provides a stable option at left-back when needed. The Greek full-back’s value has certainly increased significantly during this period, and there could be an opportunity in the market for Liverpool to make a handsome profit.
Acquired from Olympiacos for £11 million, Liverpool may brace themselves for big offers from suitors, as Roma are reportedly keen on the left-back. Jose Mourinho wants reinforcements in the next window to make the club competitive in Italy.
Tsimikas represents a good option for the left-back role, with his attacking output likely to make him a valuable acquisition for Mourinho and Roma. The Greek star has registered six assists in 22 games across all competitions. These are good numbers for a full-back, and he could certainly improve the side.
Liverpool could accept a reasonable offer and look to invest the money in a younger replacement. They are linked with youngster Calvin Ramsay of Aberdeen, who is also of interest to several other clubs from the Premier League.
The Reds are also keen on Hoffenheim’s David Raum, although such a move could only be possible if Tsimikas leaves. The Greek star has given no reason to Klopp to find a replacement and will very likely remain the deputy to Robertson next season unless the player himself wishes to move.
The 25-year-old has a contract with Liverpool that runs until the summer of 2025. In the scenario that the Reds do consider a sale, Roma would have to come up with a significant offer to swoop him away from Anfield.
