Liverpool Left-Back Kostas Tsimikas Undergoes Roma Medical Ahead Season-Long Loan

Kostas Tsimikas is set to join AS Roma on a season-long loan from Liverpool after finding himself third-choice left-back behind Andy Robertson and Milos Kerkez. The deal is a straight loan without an option to buy, with Roma covering his wages, which saves Liverpool around £75,000 per week. Tsimikas, who joined Liverpool in 2020 and extended his contract until 2027, has not been included in Liverpool's recent Premier League squads, prompting his move in search of regular first-team football. Despite Liverpool's preference for a permanent sale, the loan agreement was reached as a compromise. Roma, under new manager Gian Piero Gasperini, will compete in the Europa League this season, offering Tsimikas a chance to play European football. The move is expected to be finalized following his medical in Italy, with an official announcement imminent.
