The 25-year-old last extended his contract when he was a squad player under Jurgen Klopp in 2022. At that time, the terms of his deal reflected his role as a rotational option, securing him through to the summer of 2027.
However, Jones has developed into a key player, contributing to his second Premier League title in the 2024/25 season. Liverpool has struggled to meet his expectations for a new contract, fueling speculation about a potential sale.
Inter’s Pursuit of Jones
This summer represents Liverpool’s final opportunity to profit from the homegrown talent before he becomes a free agent in 2027.
Inter Milan has been in discussions to acquire the talented playmaker but has consistently refused to meet Richard Hughes’ €40m asking price.
If the Nerazzurri fail to finalize a deal, they risk losing out on Jones, who is also being pursued by Galatasaray and Juventus.
Additionally, there has been interest from Premier League side Nottingham Forest, although a move to the City Ground seems unlikely for Jones.
Recent reports from Football Insider indicate that Nottingham Forest has shifted its focus away from a potential signing of Curtis Jones, deeming him a lesser priority
Possible Stay for Jones If Inter’s Bid Falls Through
According to reports, Nottingham Forest had previously considered a move for Jones, but sources suggest he has now fallen lower in their list of potential signings.
For Liverpool supporters hoping to see Jones remain with the club, this news is encouraging. Currently, it appears that Inter is the only serious contender for his transfer, but they are struggling to agree on terms.
The likelihood of Jones staying at Liverpool has thus increased with another interested party seemingly out of the picture. As the transfer window progresses, we could see him remain with the club beyond the deadline on September 1, and perhaps even secure a new contract under the new head coach, Andoni Iraola.
