A reported £15m transfer involving a Liverpool star has hit a sudden delay, with the player yet to make a final decision. The shock twist comes as clubs expected a deal to be wrapped up quickly, but the situation has now changed, with fresh doubt cast over the move.
Milos Kerkez’s imminent arrival will lead to Liverpool selling one left-back, and Kostas Tsimikas has been heavily linked with a move away from Anfield this summer.
He was a bit part player under Arne Slot last season, but still earned a Premier League winners’ medal at the end of the campaign and was seen celebrating wildly after winning the league.
The Greek defender also recently revealed that it is better to play fewer games at Liverpool than being a regular starter at a smaller club, in a big hint of what he has been thinking this summer.

Kostas Tsimikas delays Liverpool transfer decision
Tsimikas has suitors in the Premier League, where Leeds United are among the clubs who are keen to get their hands on the left-back this summer.
However, according to The Athletic, the Greek defender is set to delay deciding on whether to move on from Liverpool in the ongoing transfer window.
Kerkez’s arrival puts his place in the squad under jeopardy, but Andy Robertson has also been linked with a move away from Anfield this summer.
The Scot is exploring joining Atletico Madrid, who have a verbal agreement in place with his representatives for a transfer.
Tsimikas has indicated that he has no issues playing second fiddle to Kerkez, and Robertson’s departure would make him the second-choice left-back in the squad.
The Greek defender wants to wait and see how his opportunities will be affected next season before a final decision is made.
