Liverpool defensive planning has reshaped the left-back position this summer, leaving questions over squad depth and the future of key options.

The arrival of Milos Kerkez has given Liverpool a new first-choice option on the left side of defence, with Andy Robertson set to take on a rotation role after years as the automatic starter.

According to James Pearce, the Greek international is expected to leave Anfield before the transfer window closes and would prefer to join a club competing in European football.

Pearce also reports that a move abroad looks more likely than a Premier League stay if the 29-year-old does depart.

For Liverpool, the new structure at left-back makes his exit increasingly realistic, provided the right offer arrives.

There is already notable movement regarding potential destinations, with multiple clubs positioning themselves to secure his signature.

As reported by Paul Joyce yesterday, newly promoted Birmingham City in the Championship were in advanced talks to sign Tsimikas.

Santi Aouna has revealed that Marseille are also showing interest, viewing him as a valuable addition ahead of their campaign.

These parallel discussions underline the crossroads in Tsimikas’ career: whether to pursue consistent minutes in England’s second tier or chase the European football he desires with a move overseas.

For Liverpool, the decision will balance financial return against maintaining depth, but with Kerkez and Robertson covering the role, the club appear ready to sanction a sale if the conditions align.

With both clubs circling, Liverpool will assess their options carefully, knowing Tsimikas still carries value in European markets.
