Kostas Tsimikas’ loan move to AS Roma has come under the microscope, with Italian media offering a blunt assessment of the Greek left-back’s performances so far this season. Many had expected the experienced Tsimikas to become a regular at Stadio Olimpico, and the Italian media has now weighed in on his performances, highlighting the challenges the Greek faces.

However, his start in Italy has been mixed. However, things have quickly taken a turn for the worse, with Tsimikas now well down the pecking order among Roma’s defenders.

"What we can confirm is that Roma have absolutely no regrets that their agreement with Liverpool was a dry loan, without any guarantees or obligations to make it a permanent transfer." Elsewhere, Tuttomercatoweb journalist Andrea Losapio has suggested that Tsimikas could make a return to Liverpool’s Anfield in the near future—though not in January—unless he manages a significant turnaround in form in the coming weeks.
