Liverpool will demand around €8-10 million to part ways with 29-year-old Greek international Kostas Tsimikas in the summer transfer window amid his links with AS Roma.
According to an update by Italian journalist Eleonora Trotta, Kostas Tsimikas is the subject of interest from AS Roma. The Serie A giants are keen on bolstering their defensive unit by signing a left-back in the summer transfer window. So, the 29-year-old Liverpool wide player has emerged as a target for the Giallorossi.
The struggling Italian heavyweights are keen on signing the Thessaloniki native on a loan deal with a purchase option. However, Liverpool would prefer to part ways with Tsimikas for around €8-10 million in the summer transfer window, with the experienced left-back also having other options.
Kostas Tsimikas and his Liverpool career so far
Kostas Tsimikas has made considerable progress despite managing limited outings since joining Liverpool from Olympiacos in August 2022. The 29-year-old has been the backup left-back for the Merseyside outfit in the last three years, and he has been reliable whenever the opportunities have presented themselves. He has turned out over 100 times thus far for Liverpool while chipping in with 18 assists.
However, the Greek international has likely played his final game for Liverpool, with Arne Slot defining the left-back hierarchy at Anfield. Meanwhile, Tsimikas has no shortage of sides pursuing his signature, with Premier League clubs, in particular, keen on signing him. AS Roma will be among the prospective suitors vying for his signature in the final days of the summer transfer window.
Serie A move on the horizon?
AS Roma’s interest in Kostas Tsimikas makes sense. The Serie A giants are combing the market for a left-back in the final days of the summer transfer window, with Anass Salah-Edine facing an uncertain future at Stadio Olimpico. So, the Liverpool wide player has emerged as a target for the Giallorossi.
However, Liverpool and AS Roma differ on their preferred structures for a summer deal. While the Serie A outfit will look to sign Tsimikas on a loan deal with a purchase option, Liverpool will aim for a permanent exit, having slapped a price tag of around €8-10 million on him.
Meanwhile, recent reports have claimed that Tsimikas has accepted his fate at the Merseyside club after falling to third in the pecking order for left-backs at Anfield. So, it will be interesting to see if a move worth €8-10 million to AS Roma is on the cards for the 29-year-old Greek full-back.
