‘Kostas Tsimikas can complete Liverpool exit’ amid £18m transfer development
Kostas Tsimikas will have his eye on a Liverpool departure after a quiet season.
The Greece international played a bit-part role under Arne Slot this campaign, but has still come away with a Premier League medal.
With that being said, it would still be massively beneficial to the 29-year-old to complete a move to help boost his playing minutes at this stage of his career.
The chances of a move away from Anfield now appear to have taken a step closer to completion, after a £18m agreement was made this early in the summer.
Tsimikas eyes Liverpool exit as deal agreed
The Reds haven’t necessarily been ones for selling fringe players, preferring to keep the squad together rather than making wholesale changes.
This was certainly the case under Jurgen Klopp, but could be set to change in the coming weeks and months under the Dutchman.
With Jeremie Frimpong already signed and a deal for Florian Wirtz on the way, sales were always going to be needed to fund new transfers.
One exit could already be set to go through on Merseyside as Caoimhin Kelleher looks set to join Brentford for £18million.
Fabrizio Romano reported on 1 June that a deal is done for the Republic of Ireland international to join the Bees from Anfield, with Mark Flekken set to join Bayer Leverkusen.
This just goes to show that the L4 club are willing to part ways with their back up options if they are keen on a departure this summer.
As a result, Tsimikas could be set to knock on Slot’s door and question when he can leave and follow in the footsteps of the keeper.
Tsimikas could take inspiration from Kelleher at Liverpool
There would be no surprise if the Greek opted to find a new home away from Anfield if given the chance in the summer.

Tsimikas has already been linked to Leeds United, but is yet to be part of concrete links to a potential departure at this stage.
This could change if the Reds complete a move for Milos Kerkez, who would then take up the role of the ex-Olympiakos man moving forward.
The 29-year-old has to assess his options and will probably be hopeful of taking inspiration from his goalkeeper teammate in the coming weeks.
