Kostas Tsimikas is expected to leave Liverpool after being left out of the squad for the match against Crystal Palace, indicating that manager Arne Slot has informed him he is free to find a new club this summer.

Noted football journalist Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Tsimikas was excluded from the squad specifically because he's anticipated to depart the club, emphasizing that the defender and Liverpool have agreed that his time at Anfield is coming to an end.

Liverpool have set conditions for Tsimikas's exit, reflecting their desire to recoup a satisfactory fee amid significant summer spending and player sales. The club recently raised funds through notable outgoing transfers, such as Darwin Nunez's £46 million move to Al-Hilal and Luis Diaz's transfer to Bayern Munich for just over £65 million.

Within this context, Tsimikas faces diminishing playing opportunities for the 2025-26 season, strengthening the likelihood that Liverpool will facilitate his move elsewhere.

The Reds' overall transfer activity includes potential departures of other squad members such as Harvey Elliott, Ben Doak, and injury-hit Calvin Ramsay, who might be loaned or sold. Rhys Williams may remain to provide defensive cover, highlighting Liverpool's strategic squad adjustments alongside Tsimikas's anticipated exit.
