Both internally and externally, Liverpool are hoping to complete a lot of transfer business.

We've already started to see an outline developing of who might enter the Reds' squad under Arne Slot next season, but some players in the dressing room will need to make way for more incomings.

A number of players are said to be at risk of leaving, whether this be for the club to cash-in on those who are underperforming, or facilitating more playing time for those who have been underused.

One of those is Kostas Tsimikas who is likely to be the one out of himself and Andy Robertson that makes way for someone new to freshen up the team. Reports are suggesting he has a move lined up.

Tsimkas has a spot in Leeds' lineup waiting for him

According to a report from Football Insider, the Greek Scouser is Yorkshire-bound.

Their correspondent Pete O'Rourke, writes: "Obviously [Tsimikas] is facing an uncertain future at Anfield this summer.

"It does look like Liverpool are trying to push ahead with a deal for Milos Kerkez, and if the Hungarian was to arrive, that would push Tsimikas even further down the pecking order.

"Leeds are going to be in the market for a new left-back in the summer's window, with Junior Firpo likely to leave... [Tsimikas] could come straight into that team and improve them.

"He's under contract until 2027, so I don't think Liverpool would command a huge transfer fee if they were to sell Tsimikas - you are probably looking between £12-15m maybe, for Liverpool to sell him."

As such, the club's recruitment department might not necessarily have to struggle to facilitate Kerkez's place in the squad this summer, as clubs are already lining up to make it happen.
