Liverpool have been given the green light to bring left-back Kostas Tsimikas back to Anfield, according to Fabrizio Romano. The update follows a report from Ben Jacobs that Liverpool were set to approach Roma about ending Tsimikas’ loan early. Romano said Roma are open to the move if Andrew Robertson joins Tottenham, with Liverpool ready to welcome the Greece international back.
Romano Says Roma Ready to Let Tsimikas Return as Robertson Spurs Talk Grows
Fabrizio Romano says Liverpool can move closer to bringing Kostas Tsimikas back from Roma after receiving approval from the Italian club. Romano wrote that Roma have already given the “green light” for the left-back to return to Anfield, with the situation tied to the possibility of Andrew Robertson joining Tottenham. Romano added Liverpool are ready to welcome Tsimikas back.
The report follows information from Ben Jacobs that Liverpool were preparing to approach Roma to end Tsimikas’ loan midway through the season. Romano said there is no recall clause in the agreement, meaning any early return would rely on direct club-to-club contact. He described the situation as close to being resolved between Tsimikas and Roma.
Liverpool’s interest comes with uncertainty around Robertson’s future and the club’s options at left-back. With Robertson potentially set to move to Spurs, Liverpool are looking for added depth in the position, where Tsimikas has previously served as Robertson’s understudy at Anfield. The article also notes Robertson has been used as backup to Milos Kerkez this term.
Tsimikas has made 16 appearances for Roma this season, but the report suggests he is now likely to be allowed to leave during the loan. The 29-year-old spent five seasons at Liverpool before this campaign, and Liverpool are positioned to bring him back if the Robertson move progresses, based on Romano’s update.
