Liverpool have confirmed that Kostas Tsimikas has joined Serie A club AS Roma on a season-long loan for the 2025-26 campaign. The Greek left-back’s temporary move to Roma was finalized this summer, allowing him to seek more regular playing time. Tsimikas, who joined Liverpool from Olympiacos in the summer of 2020, has made 115 appearances for the Reds to date.
The loan deal involves Roma covering Tsimikas's wages, and Liverpool have made him available without requiring a permanent transfer option. The player has been actively pushing for the move, seeing Roma as an ideal opportunity to showcase his abilities and gain more first-team experience. Roma considered including a buy option clause in the deal but ultimately agreed on a straightforward loan arrangement.
This move comes as part of Liverpool’s plan to accommodate Tsimikas’s desire for consistent playing opportunities, which have become limited at Anfield. The decision to loan him demonstrates Liverpool’s willingness to support his development while retaining the possibility of his return after the loan period.
Overall, Tsimikas's loan to Roma represents a strategic decision for all parties: Roma strengthen their squad with an experienced full-back, Tsimikas gets a chance for regular play in a top European league, and Liverpool maintain squad flexibility for the upcoming season.
