On Wednesday, Gianluca di Marzio reported AS Roma are prepared to wait until the last few hours of the transfer window to sign Liverpool’s Kostas Tsimikas.
Despite facing rejection after their initial offer, the Italian side are confident they will land the left-back.
Now, developments have taken place and Roma’s approach has led to results.
Gazzetta dello Sport report Tsimikas has made a loan request at Liverpool and the Reds have accepted that.
Il Tempo journalist Filippo Biafora reports along the same lines, claiming that these are ‘important steps’ for the move and Greek is nearing a dry loan move to the Stadio Olimpico.
La Repubblica also report the defender will leave on a dry loan deal and Liverpool could give the ‘green light’ today.
Tsimikas is yet to play a single minute in the Premier League this season and with game time drying out, a switch to Roma can reinvigorate his career, considering Gian Piero Gasperini’s reputation of bringing the most out of full-backs.
