After Greek defender Kostas Tsimikas saw his standing at Liverpool significantly diminish, the Reds are now ready to part ways with the player. However, a compromise was necessary to move negotiations forward.
Details: According to The Athletic, the Reds have agreed to Roma's offer for a loan move, though the deal will not include a purchase option. This is somewhat surprising, as Liverpool had previously insisted they would only let Tsimikas leave on a permanent transfer.
The Merseyside club has already given the go-ahead for the Greek to undergo a medical with the Roman side. This move fulfills Tsimikas' ambition: he wanted to join a club competing in European tournaments and preferred a move abroad over continuing his career in England.
Reminder: Previously, Liverpool head coach Arne Slot did not rule out new signings at Liverpool before the close of the transfer window.
