Kostas Tsimikas is confirmed to be the subject of advanced talks between Liverpool and Roma, who are negotiating terms ahead of a possible transfer. The defender has long been on the radar of Liverpool, who see him as the perfect addition to their squad as they look to strengthen a key area of the pitch. Progress on talks has been made, though a final agreement is not yet in place and other clubs are said to be weighing-up whether to join the race for his signature. While Liverpool and Roma continue talks, no breakthrough has been reported. Marseille, Roma and Leeds reportedly may still have an interest, but currently the focus is on getting this deal across the line. Defensively, Liverpool are sitting around the league average this season, at 1.39 goals conceded per game. Someone like Kostas Tsimikas could keep them steady but also raise the level when it matters most. Roma have also been linked with Yannick Carrasco, Donyell Malen and Andreas Schjelderup while Liverpool are reportedly monitoring Aurelien Tchouameni, Antonee Robinson and Said El Mala.
