Inter Milan are interested in Liverpool full-back Kostas Tsimikas.
The Greek international was signed by the Merseyside club from Olympiakos last summer in a deal worth £12 million, but had a difficult first season in English football, making just seven appearances in all competitions for them.
Despite the fact that Any Robertson is the preferred choice at left-back, Liverpool do not want to sell the 25-year old defender. However, the Serie A side, who need reinforcements in that position may be prepared to tempt them to part with him with a bid, with Liverpool wanting funds to reinvest in their squad.
The Serie A side are also reported to be tracking the situation of Alex Telles at Manchester United who is in a similar position to Tsimikas. Bought last summer to provide competition to the established left-back at a club, and unable to sift the present incumbent, in his case Luke Shaw.
