We are getting to the final few days of the transfer window and it looks like one Liverpool star could be on the move.

There's little work left for Richard Hughes to do. Of course, he'll be working on a double deal for Marc Guehi and Alexander Isak.

That will be a massive priority for the Reds before the window is wrapped up.

Even in terms of outgoings there's not much left for Hughes to do. Sure, there are some loan moves to secure for Liverpool's burgeoning talent who are on the cusp of Arne Slot's first team squad.

But most of the sales have been sorted. Hughes has done an excellent job at getting rid of the players who were not a long-term part of Slot's vision.

Not just getting rid of them but selling them for the right price.

There's only a couple of things left for him to do from now until the end of the season, including securing a surprise transfer to one of the club's defenders to a European giant.

If Guehi comes in, there's no question about it, Liverpool are going to be very well stocked at the back. They have two right-back options in Jeremie Frimpong and Conor Bradley.

Not to mention Dominik Szoboszlai just proved against Newcastle, he can also play there.

At centre-back, Joe Gomez is very capable in that role. Meanwhile, Giovanni Leoni, Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate on top of Guehi as well would make a really commanding team.

The left-back situation is even stronger with a trio of options in Milos Kerkez, Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas.

Considering all three of them are non-homegrown players, this is where Hughes may have to do some trimming down.

Earlier on in the window there were fears this could see Robertson move on.

But that will not be the case. His experience is vital and he's going to be staying. Instead, it's Tsimikas who is going to be on the move.

He's not been part of Slot's squad since the start of the season and Liverpool are actively looking at solutions for him in the market.

It seems like they have found one.

According to Nicolo Schira Tsimikas has given his availability to join AS Roman. The Greek international has reportedly agreed to join the European giants and Roma have even prepared a contract until 2029.

It remains to be seen whether the deal is a permanent one or a loan with an option to buy. That all depends on Liverpool and how the negotiations go.

But it's clear the Liverpool defender has agreed to the move and he likely wants this to happen.
