The Greek left-back on loan from Liverpool has endured a turbulent loan spell in Italy. Image Credits: Imago ImagesKostas Tsimikas departed Liverpool last summer on a loan deal to Serie A side AS Roma after seeing his chances at regular gametime lessened by the arrival of Milos Kerkez.Tsimikas was already second choice to Andy Robertson, and with Milos Kerkez joining Liverpool’s ranks with a clear intention set out by the club to make him the starting left-back for years to come, the Greek international chose Italy as the place to play his football this season.A smart choice at first, but the 29-year-old has gone on to endure a largely unsuccessful spell with the Italian side.Featuring in 25 games so far this season is an impressive feat, but when it is considered that throughout those games, according to Transfermarkt he has played a total of just 1,050 minutes, it demonstrates that he hasn’t been seen as a key player under Gian Piero Gasperini this season.After failing to make an impression in Italy and give himself the opportunity to extend his stay, Gazzetta Dello Sport have confirmed AS Roma’s transfer plans for Kostas Tsimikas this summer.According to the report: “Those who will certainly leave Roma are El Shaarawy, Tsimikas, Ferguson, Zaragoza and perhaps Venturino (it will also depend on Baldanzi).

Dovbyk is out (who has never had a great feeling with the Roma coach), while in the balance there are then the various Angelino, El Aynaoui, Celik, Ndicka and Koné. All for different reasons.”Kostas Tsimikas’ concerns will be eased by the news arriving earlier this month that the player has been informed by Liverpool that as it stands he will be the back up to Milos Kerkez for the 2026/27 campaign but that could change if the Reds decide to dip into the market for a new full-back this summer.
