Exclusive: £80,000-a-Week Liverpool Star Ready to Leave Club Amid Slot Decision

Liverpool defender Kostas Tsimikas could be on the move this summer, with the left-back attracting interest from clubs in both the Premier League and Spain, GIVEMESPORT sources understand.

The Greek international is understood to be open to a new challenge after largely playing a backup role at Anfield over the past few seasons.

Since joining Liverpool from Olympiacos in 2020, Tsimikas has often been second choice behind Andrew Robertson, making a series of solid contributions when called upon, particularly during domestic cup campaigns and when the Scotsman has been sidelined by injury. But with a new era beginning under head coach Arne Slot, Tsimikas’ role may not change.

Tsimikas Could Leave Liverpool

Interest from England and Spain

Tsimikas currently earns around £80,000-a-week after he signed a contract extension with Liverpool in late 2023, but a lack of regular minutes could prompt him to consider his options. While Liverpool are not known to be actively pushing him toward the exit, interest from clubs abroad and in England has put his situation under fresh scrutiny.

Clubs in La Liga have reportedly made initial enquiries, while teams in the Premier League are also keeping tabs on the 29-year-old.

Tsimikas is said to be open-minded about the next step in his career and would be willing to leave Liverpool if the right opportunity came along, especially one offering consistent first-team football.

With Slot preparing for his second season in the Liverpool dugout, decisions around squad depth and player roles will become increasingly important. If Tsimikas does depart, Liverpool could look to the market, or from within, to ensure adequate cover for Robertson over a long season. They already spent £40m on signing Hungary star Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth in this transfer window.

For now, no move is imminent, but Tsimikas’ future remains one of several storylines to watch closely as Liverpool’s summer evolves.
