Roma Consider Ending Tsimikas and Bailey Loans to Open Space for January Forwards

Overview

• Corriere dello Sport, via Italian outlets, reports Roma are weighing January terminations of Kostas Tsimikas and Leon Bailey to free squad spots.
• Bailey has struggled to establish himself after a thigh strain, making nine appearances with one start and one assist.
• Tsimikas has fallen out of favor under Gian Piero Gasperini and was described by Italian journalist Mario Corsi as exhausted by the coach’s demands.
• Yahoo Sports notes Liverpool have no available non-homegrown slot, making a Tsimikas return impractical and prompting the need for a new loan or sale despite limited recent form.
• Roma are pursuing attacking additions reported to include Joshua Zirkzee and Giacomo Raspadori, with coverage indicating Tsimikas’ dry loan and Roma’s wage coverage could ease cancellation talks.
