Liverpool have stunned English football with their seamless transition under Arne Slot. While it was easy to expect a decline similar to Manchester United’s after Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure, the Reds have proven otherwise. Unlike the Red Devils, who are still searching for a fitting replacement for their club legend, Liverpool have smoothly moved on from Jurgen Klopp, ushering in what could be another era of success.
Liverpool are reportedly willing to offer Kostas Tsimikas to Fulham in a bid to avoid paying the full £40million asking price for Antonee Robinson. The Reds have shown interest in the Fulham left-back, who has proven to be a valuable player over several Premier League seasons. With both Liverpool and Manchester United eyeing Robinson, Liverpool are said to have a strategy to secure him at a lower cost.
Liverpool reportedly set to bid goodbye to the Greek
Four years ago, the Greek left-back joined Liverpool with the ambition of cementing his place as a key player. However, under Klopp, he was largely relegated to a rotational role, making just 97 appearances for the Reds. Despite not yet scoring a goal for the club, he has provided 17 assists. Earning £75,000 gross per week, Tsimikas has often been overshadowed by the legendary Andy Robertson.
According to TBRFootball, Liverpool are keen on Antonee Robinson and are considering offering current left-back Kostas Tsimikas as part of a deal to bring the Fulham player to Anfield. Despite Tsimikas playing more frequently recently, Liverpool are reportedly willing to use him as makeweight to lower the £40 million price tag on Robinson and secure a deal in January. With Tsimikas’s future uncertain, this move seems like a strategic opportunity for Liverpool to strengthen their left-back position. The Reds are said to view Robinson as one of the best in his position, while Tsimikas is not seen as a vital asset for the club.

Fulham, currently sitting in seventh in the Premier League, are not on the same level as Liverpool, who are top of both the Premier League and the Champions League. A move to Anfield would align with how Robinson sees his career progressing. While Liverpool are also monitoring other left-backs like Milos Kerkez and Rayan Ait-Nouri, they are focusing on securing Robinson’s signature. If negotiations go well, the American could join Liverpool as early as January.
