Paul Taylor for The Athletics notes: “Liverpool defender Tsimikas is on their shortlist of targets.
The 29-year-old, who started his career at Olympiacos, is currently on loan at Roma but has found his opportunities limited in Italy, making just four Serie A starts.”
Tsimikas’ departure from the loan is sparking discussions on the left flank
player statistics underline his limited impact in Serie A this season: Tsimikas started just four games, played 386 minutes in eleven matches and contributed zero goals or assists.
With a passing accuracy of just 78% and no clean sheet involvement, it is clear that his time at Roma has not strengthened his case for a return as Liverpool’s first-choice left-back.
This reflects what Paul Joyce said, that Liverpool may not see Tsimikas as part of the long-term plan, making Robertson’s role more central, not only on the pitch but also in the dressing room.
Robertson: vice-captain, leader and Liverpool first choice
Andy Robertson remains vice-captain, a key figure in our team under Arne Slot.
Despite making just four Premier League appearances this season, Robertson has shown his willingness to adapt while waiting for consistent minutes.
Speaking to BBC Sport, the Scot said: “I am a player who wants to play… Footballers want to play and if someone is sitting happily on the bench, then he does not belong in any football club.”
As Robertson enters the final months of his contract, rumors of possible transfers are swirling.
Still, the possible departure of Tsimikas reinforces that Robertson is the preferred backup option for us, not only because of his quality on the field, but also because of his leadership and longevity.
Slot’s second season has already seen an evolution in how we manage team dynamics, and retaining Robertson provides continuity as we navigate this new era.
Liverpool’s left-back dilemma is narrowing: Tsimikas is not wanted, Robertson remains involved and our first choice path is clearly Milos Kerkez.
While it is sad to see the ‘Greek Scouser’ possibly leaving, sometimes the timing aligns for both club and player. For Robertson, this could be the right time to reaffirm his position as left-back anchor.
