Roma are currently in talks with Liverpool regarding a potential loan move for Greek full-back Kostas Tsimikas, as they seek to strengthen their defensive options for the season. The Serie A club aims to find a deputy for their left-back position, especially after an injury setback to Bailey shortly after his arrival. Tsimikas has emerged as a strong candidate to fill this role.
Since joining Liverpool in 2020, Tsimikas has been a reliable backup to Andy Robertson, known for his energy and accurate deliveries from wide positions. However, due to Liverpool’s deep defensive squad, his playing time has become limited, making a loan move beneficial for all parties involved.
According to reports from Gianluca Di Marzio and Sky Sport, Roma have formally initiated talks with Liverpool to secure Tsimikas on loan. The negotiation process is described as challenging, but the Giallorossi are motivated to finalize the deal within the coming days. Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini has emphasized the club’s commitment to reinforcing both defense and attack, underlining that there is still significant work to be done on the squad.
Sources suggest that a clearer picture regarding the feasibility of the loan move will emerge early next week, as discussions continue. Roma remain focused on addressing gaps in their lineup and see Tsimikas as a valuable addition to support their ambitions this season.
