Roma Target Liverpool’s Tsimikas as Reds Reshape Squad Amid £300M+ Transfer Frenzy

Liverpool's off-season transfer window has undergone a dramatic turn as left-back Kostas Tsimikas inches towards a switch to AS Roma. The Serie A team has made advances to Liverpool for a loan move, but the Reds are interested in a transfer. Tsimikas, who was signed by Liverpool in 2020 and is affectionately known as a "Greek Scouser," played 115 games and provided 18 assists. But his position has been undermined since the arrival of Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth, who started in the Premier League season opener.

With Andy Robertson remaining in the picture and Kerkez now leading the pecking order, Tsimikas is expendable. His non-inclusion in recent matchday squads suggests an exit is closer than ever. Roma are interested as the defender is seeking first-team minutes, and other European clubs are claimed to be hovering.

Meanwhile, Liverpool's summer transfer activity has already surpassed £300 million, with six star signings contracted, while the team is also in negotiation to sign teenage centre-back Giovanni Leoni of Parma for £26 million. Negotiations are ongoing with Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, although there are differences in valuation.

The Reds have let go of some of their players like Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez, and Trent Alexander-Arnold, reshuffling the team under new boss Arne Slot. With Alexander Isak being Liverpool's target too, the club would make records in spending if the move materializes.

With the window almost closing, Liverpool's reorganization in defense and Roma's pursuit of Tsimikas show the shrewd transfer shaping 2025/26.
