Liverpool has rejected two bids for their in-demand £11 million man.

We all know the club hasn’t got any money this window and are going to force Jurgen Klopp to make do with what he’s got, but what if they raised money through outgoings?

There are a few fringe players who could be sold, but then again COVID probably means FSG won’t be getting the right money for those men.

It seems like the only player who is wanted is Kostas Tsimikas, the left-back who joined in the summer but has struggled to make an impact. Team Talk exclusively revealed that he’s been the subject of interest from Greek sides.

Tsimikas has made four appearances this season, three in the Champions League and one in the League Cup, before picking up a knee injury and missing a good chunk of the campaign.

The left-back has struggled to force his way into the team, even as Andy Robertson starts to look tired, and was offered an exit route back to his homeland.

Olympiakos and Panathinaikos made bids for Tsimikas, which Liverpool turned down. This makes sense as it would leave Klopp short in another key position as the Reds would struggle to find another left-back who is content to play a reserve role for the right price.

He made the squad for the 1-0 loss against Burnley, and hopefully, he’ll be able to make his Premier League debut and give Robertson a much-needed rest before too long.
