Liverpool’s Transfer Shuffle and Palace Plans…
Kostas Tsimikas looks set for a rapid escape from Anfield as the transfer window reaches its final, frantic days. With Arne Slot giving the nod to fresh face Milos Kerkez and seasoned pro Andy Robertson for left-back duties, Tsimikas’s role is smaller than a penny in a millionaire’s pocket. Having donned the Reds’ jersey since 2020, his patience is now tested as he finds himself lower on the team ladder than a limbo champion at a party. Liverpool might consider a loan if no club steps in to buy, so Tsimikas might soon have more minutes of fame than a stopwatch. “I’d love more game time, but I’m okay,” he said, juggling gratitude like balls in a circus act.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace is bracing for a future sans Marc Guehi, allegedly eyeing Jeremy Jacquet as a potential new recruit. Palace’s plan is almost as secretive as hiding an elephant in a park, yet they face a $14 million Grand Canyon-sized gap between Liverpool’s offer and their ask for Guehi. The Reds are ready with a $47 million offer for the 25-year-old, but Palace insists on $61 million, valuing Guehi like he’s the crown jewels of Selhurst Park. As the negotiation theatrics continue, maybe Liverpool will find an extra loose change or two to meet Palace halfway—or they might just start re-enacting a Shakespearean drama of their own until the window slams shut.
