Liverpool finally lifted the Premier League trophy on Sunday, a moment that supporters have been waiting for all season.
Having missed out on the celebrations in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Liverpool fans were finally blessed with the scenes of watching their team lift the Premier League title in front of a sold-out Anfield stadium for the first time in over 30 years.
The end of the season, though, brings about rumours on who will stay and who will leave, with Harvey Elliott sparking Liverpool exit speculation after the midfielder’s social media post on the final day of the campaign.
And another Liverpool player might have done something similar having been linked with a departure leading into the summer.

Taking to his official Instagram account, Kostas Tsimikas posted an emotional message to Liverpool supporters after Sunday’s title lift, with the Greek international thanking fans and the club having won his first Premier League trophy.
Tsimikas has been linked with an exit from Liverpool with the Reds stepping up their pursuit for Milos Kerkez, with the Greek international’s lastest post potentially viewed by some as a goodbye message given what is likely to happen this summer.
Tsimikas wrote: “As a kid kicking a ball in Greece, I could never imagine this day – lifting the Premier League trophy as a Liverpool player.
Five years at this club have taught me what it means to never walk alone: this city, this team, and these fans carried us through every step.

“I’m overwhelmed with pride in what we’ve achieved and gratitude for everyone who stood by us.
Greek Scouser’s heart is forever with Liverpool.”

With Kerkez closing in on a move to Liverpool, one of Tsimikas or Andy Robertson will leave Anfield this summer, with the Reds securing their long-term left-back in the Hungarian international whilst needing an experienced backup to help the defender learn the ropes.
And whilst Tsimikas’ form this season has arguably been better than Robertson’s, the former Olympiakos man leaving seems to be the most likely outcome when it comes to which left-back Liverpool should sell from the current squad.
With Premier League clubs already interested in Tsimikas, finding a suitor should be an easy enough job for Liverpool during the window, and the Reds could also get a good fee for the defender which can help in their mission to signing even more players for the new campaign.
