According to TEAMtalk, Liverpool have received offers for Kostas Tsimikas from Olympiakos and Panathinaikos.
It has been reported that Greek giants Olympiakos and Panathinaikos are keen on signing Tsimikas in the January transfer window, but Liverpool have turned them down and want to keep the left-back at Anfield.
Difficult Liverpool spell
Scotland international Andy Robertson is the first-choice left-back at Liverpool at the moment, and that is unlikely to change anytime soon.
Tsimikas was signed by the defending Premier League champions from Olympiakos in the summer of 2020 as a back-up to Robertson.
The 24-year-old – described as “quick, direct, a strong dribbler and with quality off his left foot from wide areas” on Liverpool’s official website in August 2020 – has failed to make a huge impact at Anfield.
The Greece international left-back has made two starts and one substitute appearance in the Champions League and has played once in the EFL Cup for the Reds so far this season, according to WhoScored.
Meanwhile, Klopp has suggested that he would like to sign a central defender in the January transfer window, but it may not be possible.
Klopp told The Guardian: “Now we talk about a centre-half. Yes, it would help: 100%. Would we score more goals with a centre half? I am not sure. Would it give us a little bit more stability in specific moments?
“Yes, probably. But we don’t go and say: ‘If we don’t get this or that, then we cannot perform.’ It would sound like an excuse, and the last thing we are looking for is that.”
