Overview
- Kostas Tsimikas was omitted from Liverpool’s Community Shield squad at Wembley, with Milos Kerkez named as first choice and Andy Robertson as cover
- Liverpool have ruled out any loan moves and are seeking a permanent transfer for the 29-year-old left-back valued around £15.5 million
- Nottingham Forest, targeting defensive reinforcements, view Tsimikas as a candidate to become their fifth signing of the summer under owner Evangelos Marinakis
- Tsimikas made 27 appearances last season, including six in the Champions League, and registered two assists as part of Liverpool’s Premier League-winning campaign
- A permanent departure would conclude Tsimikas’s five-year stint at Anfield and fit Liverpool’s broader strategy to streamline their squad this summer
