Liverpool are open to considering a loan exit for Kostas Tsimikas, as interested clubs could explore the idea to take the experienced wide player.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Kostas Tsimikas is expected to leave Liverpool this summer, with the club open to loan offers for the experienced wide player. There will be a few sides showing interest as the window progresses, as Arne Slot does not count the Greek star in his plans.
Liverpool have a few players that could leave before the window shuts, including Kostas Tsimikas. The Greek left-back is expected to be out of Arne Slot’s plans for the upcoming season following the arrival of Milos Kerkez, who appears to be the new first-choice left-back at Anfield.
Hence, it was always a decision for Arne Slot to keep one of Tsimikas and Andy Robertson. The latter had big links at the start of the window with Atletico Madrid, but those have cooled down since, as the indication is that the Scotsman will stay with Liverpool heading into the new campaign.
With Liverpool securing the left-back position with a terrific young star, coupled with an experienced campaigner, Tsimikas has already accepted his fate. There have been a few clubs showing interest in the experienced wide player, who has featured 115 times for Liverpool across all competitions. During that period, he has never scored a goal for the club but laid down 18 assists for his teammates.
Tsimikas has been closing in on an exit, but there might be factors in the background that are causing teams from coming forward with their interest. Liverpool had wanted to sell him permanently at the start of the window for a decent price, and now, they might have changed their stance.
Liverpool are ready to loan out Kostas Tsimikas
Liverpool could have made things easier for the experienced wide player to leave the club, as they are now considering letting him leave on loan. With two years left on his deal at Anfield, the club certainly have room to let him depart temporarily.
Liverpool will certainly want a buy option at the very least inserted in any loan deal they entertain to have some level of assurances of getting a fee next summer. They would prefer an obligation, but given the lack of clear-cut interest in the experienced wide player, clubs will mostly angle a loan move, which might come with a purchase option at the end of it.
