The transfer window has less than a week remaining and Liverpool find themselves at the heart of numerous talks.<\/p>\n

Andy Robertson now appears destined to remain at Anfield after the Reds held discussions with Tottenham<\/a> regarding a potential move. But what impact does this have on Kostas Tsimikas’ stint at Roma as manager Arne Slot looks to turn around a Premier League<\/a> campaign that has spiralled into a nightmare with yet another defeat at the weekend to Bournemouth<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Robertson and Ibrahima Konate have both entered the final six months of their Merseyside contracts<\/a>. Even after the window closes, they’ll be free to negotiate with potential suitors regarding summer moves. The club have recalled a young loan star and where he alongside other young talents will spend the remainder of the campaign could still alter in the forthcoming days. Here’s all the latest news from Anfield.<\/p>\n

Discussions confirmed<\/p>\n

Roma have acknowledged negotiations have taken place with Liverpool concerning Tsimikas’ return, despite Robertson now appearing likely to remain at Anfield.<\/p>\n

Robertson, 31, had seemed poised to exit with the Reds seeking to strengthen their left-back options before securing an agreement, reports the Mirror<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tsimikas, 29, is presently midway through a season-long loan spell with Italian heavyweights Roma. A director at the Italian outfit, Frederic Massara, verified that discussions had taken place.<\/p>\n

“They are all situations that are evolving, we are in a dialogue with Liverpool and we’ll see how that evolves over the next few days,” Massara said.<\/p>\n

Whether the Reds will continue their efforts to bring back Tsimikas remains to be seen.<\/p>\n

Koumas’ next destination\"Lewis<\/p>\n

Lewis Koumas is nearing a short-term switch to Hull City, following an early end to his loan spell at Birmingham City. The Welsh international is eager for more playing time before the season concludes.<\/p>\n

As per the Liverpool Echo, Liverpool believe Hull’s track record of developing young attacking talents like Jaden Philogene, Joe Gelhardt and Liam Delap makes it the ideal place for Koumas, 20, to grow at the MKM Stadium.<\/p>\n

Negotiations are well underway and nearing completion, with a move to Hull likely before the January transfer window closes.<\/p>\n

Reds target Wolves midfielder\"Joao<\/p>\n

Liverpool could make a move for Wolves midfielder Andre, as several clubs monitor the 24-year-old’s situation, reports RTI Esporte.<\/p>\n

Slot’s team have previously been linked with the Brazilian during his time at Fluminense and seemingly inevitable relegation to the Championship might force Wolves to sell, with the Midlands side 17 points from safety at the bottom of the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Clubs from Italy, Turkey, France and England including rivals Manchester United<\/a> are all reportedly interested in Andre. Liverpool are said to be preparing a bid, with Wolves demanding a minimum of \u00a326m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool face busy final days of the January transfer window with Arne Slot hoping for positive developments after…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":723662,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8815],"tags":[1121,748,393,600,4884,179,763,423,101,100,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-723661","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-liverpool","8":"tag-arne-slot","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-facebook","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-liverpool","14":"tag-liverpool-fc","15":"tag-manchester-united-fc","16":"tag-premier-league","17":"tag-transfer-news","18":"tag-uk","19":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115965918367665534","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/723661","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=723661"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/723661\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/723662"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=723661"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=723661"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=723661"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
