The Greek left‑back has endured a difficult loan at Roma and is now widely expected to return to Merseyside ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.Roma have not been fully convinced by Tsimikas, and club are prepared to send him back to Liverpool rather than push for a permanent deal. That assessment is backed up by the numbers: the 29‑year‑old has featured in just four Serie A games this season, plus a handful of cup and European outings, leaving him far from the established starter he hoped to become in Rome.Gian Piero Gasperini has often preferred other options at left‑back, even using right‑back cover on that flank instead of turning regularly to Tsimikas.Now Greek outlet Sport24 have reported that Tsimikas has been informed by the Anfield club that he will be a back-up to Milos Kerkez in the 2026/27 campaign, and will return to the club following his loan in Serie A.His situation briefly became a live topic at Anfield in January.

Once Spurs were pushed back and Robertson stayed put, any immediate comeback was shelved and Tsimikas remained in Italy to fight for minutes.Speaking back in January, the Greece international said of his future:“I’m very focused on my team. For me, my only goal is this: I am here and I want to show the best of myself.”“I try to give the best version of myself every time the coach gives me the opportunity.

My goal is to evolve as a footballer, to progress and I believe I can give much more. This is and will remain my goal.”Looking ahead to 2026/27, Tsimikas is under contract with Liverpool until June 2027 after signing a long‑term extension in 2023.
