Although Kostas Tsimikas only had 15 starts for Liverpool last season, he is anticipated to agree to a new deal that will keep him with the team through the 2027 season.
Tsimikas was hired in the summer of 2020 to give Andy Robertson, who has been playing left-back for more than three seasons, some competition.
The 27-year-old’s future was in doubt all summer due to Jurgen Klopp’s shift in system, which made it unclear where he would stand going forward.
The left-back was never intended to leave Anfield, as James Pearce of The Athletic has recently claimed, and Tsimikas “has agreed a two-year extension to his current deal.”

He is now under contract to the team through 2025, and a two-year extension would keep him there for one more season than Robertson, whose contract runs through 2026.
Tsimikas, who made 28 appearances for the Reds last season across all competitions, will play a part in the forthcoming campaign, albeit we haven’t seen him put in a lot of time in the new system yet.
The 27-year-old has started each of Liverpool’s first four matches this season from the bench and has only been deployed once, in the final four minutes against Bournemouth.
The Greek international has played 62 times for Liverpool overall since 2020, with last season being his busiest with 15 starts from 28 appearances.
This season, it is anticipated that Klopp would use the Europa League and the early rounds of the domestic cups as opportunities for him to shine.
