LIVERPOOL – Anfield is bracing for a significant defensive reshuffle. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool have received a “green light” to prematurely end Kostas Tsimikas’ loan spell at AS Roma. The move is a direct response to the mounting reports from David Ornstein that legendary left-back Andrew Robertson is finalizing a transfer to Tottenham Hotspur.
Robertson, a key architect of Liverpool’s Champions League and Premier League triumphs, appears ready for a new challenge in London. To fill the void left by the Scotsman, the Reds’ management has opted for a “safety-first” internal solution rather than a panic buy in the winter market.
The Greek Scouser Returns Kostas Tsimikas, often affectionately called the “Greek Scouser” by fans, has struggled for minutes in Italy, starting only four Serie A matches for Roma this season. Given his limited role, Roma is reportedly willing to facilitate an early exit.
Returning to a system he knows perfectly, Tsimikas (29) is expected to provide immediate competition and cover for Milos Kerkez, who is tipped to take over the starting role should Robertson’s exit be officially confirmed in the coming days.
Strategy for the Run-in By recalling Tsimikas, Liverpool ensures they maintain squad depth without overspending. For Arne Slot, having a player who already understands the club’s DNA is vital as the team enters the decisive phase of the Premier League title race.
