Liverpool fans, let’s talk about the one name floating around Melwood like an unwanted Spotify ad—Tsimikas. With Milos Kerkez now in and Andrew Robertson still chugging along like a Scottish freight train, Arne Slot has more left-back coverage than a sunscreen factory. Which means Tsimikas, once a reliable deputy, is now the odd man out.
Tsimikas and the Writing on the Wall
The truth is, the Greek international hasn’t had much to smile about lately. Last season, he logged just 833 Premier League minutes—a stat line that screams “solid rotation guy” rather than “future starter.” With Kerkez jumping ahead of him in the depth chart, his chances of meaningful minutes are thinner than a VAR offside line.
Tsimikas and the Transfer Clock
Here’s the kicker: Liverpool don’t just want him gone—they want him gone yesterday. The contract runs until 2027, but the Reds are reportedly open to a loan if a permanent buyer doesn’t emerge before deadline day. That’s like trying to sell your car, but telling everyone, “You can borrow it for free if you promise to return it washed.”
Tsimikas and My Take
Personally? This move feels inevitable. Tsimikas has given Liverpool 115 appearances since 2020, and for a squad player, that’s decent mileage. But football’s brutal—sentiment doesn’t earn you starts. Offloading him now frees up room (and maybe some cash) for a late swoop at Marc Guehi or even Alexander Isak. Imagine Liverpool defending their title with another shiny reinforcement, all made possible because Tsimikas took one for the team.
What Comes Next
Whether it’s a loan or a cut-price deal, expect Tsimikas to pack his bags before the window slams shut. He deserves regular football, and Liverpool deserve flexibility for that one last splash. It’s business, not personal—though for fans, it’s also a reminder that even loyal squad players can’t outrun Father Time or the transfer market.
