Liverpool fans react as Napoli reportedly look to sign Reds star on loan

Mon 21 June 2021 11:45, UK

that Liverpool defender Konstantinos Tsimikas has emerged as a loan target for Napoli. The left-back has failed to clock up regular game time at Anfield since his move to Merseyside. Now, he could join Napoli �?and Liverpool fans have reacted.

Tsimikas, 25, managed just 225 minutes of football all season for Liverpool following his £11.75million move from Olympiacos. Only five of those came in the Premier League. Andy Robertson’s ability to remain fresh and keep fit has kept the Greece international sidelined �?playing just seven times.

What have Liverpool fans said about interest in Tsimikas?

Reports from the Italian newspaper claim that Napoli need a left-back. Maurizio Sarri want to sign a left-footed defender, and Tsimikas is one of three options. Lille’s Brazilian left-back Reinaldo Mandava and Chelsea’s Emerson Palmieri are also options, but Tsimikas could be signed on loan.

Liverpool fans have reacted on Twitter to the reports that Tsimikas is an option for Napoli this summer. Some believe a loan move to a club that will be in European football next season would massively benefit Tsimikas.

Meanwhile, others think the £60,000-a-week () man needs to stay and will get game time at Anfield over the next 12 months.

Would be a great situation IMO.

Can play and impress which could lead to a larger sum or increased time

If he leaves I'd expect someone to be brought in.

Throwing Tsimikas in last season with our cbs constantly changing as well made no sense. We’ll definitely see more of him this season

Tsimikas should get more game time next season. He's had time to settle and learn what Klopp wants. Robbo needs rest, even more so after Euros. With quality CBs playing Jürgen will be more comfortable rotating at left back.

Good. Will have two pre seasons under Klopp if he stays and his lot will be significantly helped by playing next to VVD.

Will also mean Robertson can be rested and Liverpool can spend the money it’d take to replace him in an area they need it more.
