Liverpool are prepared to part ways with Kostas Tsimikas before the transfer window closes, with Olympique de Marseille making a serious approach for the 29-year-old left-back. The Greek international is seeking more game time after a limited role last season and is keen on a return to regular football in Europe.
As reported by The Guardian, the Reds will not stand in Tsimikas's way, with talks progressing over a potential transfer to Marseille. The deal is expected to be worth under £13.5m (€16m).
Tsimikas open to European return as Liverpool set to allow departure
With Andrew Robertson and Milos Kerkez both ahead of Tsimikas in the pecking order, Liverpool no longer view the former Olympiacos man as a crucial squad member. Still under contract until 2026, the full-back is believed to favour a move to a European club, and Marseille’s Champions League qualification ticks all the boxes.
While the French side are advancing in talks, they must first resolve other internal matters, including the future of Adrien Rabiot, which is delaying final negotiations. If an agreement is reached, Tsimikas could become the latest name to depart Anfield this summer.
