Liverpool’s patience with Kostas Tsimikas has reached its end. According to sources close to the club, the Greek international has been informed that he is no longer part of the long-term plan at Anfield, and the Reds are eager to secure his departure before the window closes.
For Tsimikas, the writing has been on the wall for some time. Since arriving from Olympiacos in 2020, he has struggled to establish himself as more than a reliable deputy to Andy Robertson. There were flashes—memorable moments like his decisive penalty in the FA Cup final shootout against Chelsea in 2022—that briefly elevated his status among supporters. But in the larger picture, his role remained marginal.
Last season underscored the issue. Injuries and rotation gave him opportunities, yet inconsistency and a lack of rhythm left him unable to convince Jürgen Klopp that he could push Robertson for the starting job. With Klopp’s departure and Arne Slot now at the helm, Liverpool are entering a new cycle, and the consensus inside the club is that Tsimikas does not fit into the vision going forward.
The decision is also practical. Liverpool are looking to refresh their squad with players who can both challenge for starting spots and maintain value in the long term. At 28, Tsimikas has resale appeal, particularly among Serie A and La Liga sides who value his energy and crossing ability. But the urgency from Liverpool’s end is clear—they want him gone, and quickly.

For the player, the situation is delicate. Tsimikas has spoken in the past about his love for Liverpool and his respect for the club’s supporters. Yet the harsh reality of top-level football is that loyalty often collides with necessity. Liverpool’s push to accelerate his exit suggests that sentimentality has little role to play.
As the window ticks down, the question becomes not whether Tsimikas will leave, but where he will land. A move to Italy or Spain could revive his career, giving him the regular minutes that eluded him in England. For Liverpool, his departure marks the end of a chapter that never fully took shape—a reminder that even in successful squads, not every story finds its happy ending.
