Liverpool fans, it's time to keep a close eye on another potential summer departure from Anfield. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the future of midfielder Curtis Jones is far from settled, despite the 25-year-old being under contract until 2027.
The Reds head into the summer transfer window with some uncertainty surrounding their homegrown talent. While Liverpool aren't actively looking to sell Jones, there's been little progress toward a contract renewal, leaving the door open for interested clubs across Europe.
Romano provided an exclusive update, revealing that Inter Milan made Jones their primary midfield target during the January window. "They really pushed hard for him," Romano noted. "The player had already shown openness to the Inter project, so there's mutual interest that still exists heading into the summer."
The Serie A giants weren't able to convince Liverpool to sell mid-season, but that hasn't dampened their pursuit. With Inter facing a summer of change in midfield—depending on the futures of players like Mkhitaryan and Frattesi—Jones remains firmly on their shortlist.
But it's not just Italian interest to watch. Premier League rivals Tottenham and Aston Villa have also been linked, highlighting the demand for the Liverpool academy graduate should the club consider offers.
For now, Liverpool's position appears measured. There's no urgency to move Jones on, but there's also no clear path toward a new deal. As Romano put it: "It will depend on how Liverpool value him and what price they set. As of late April, I'm not aware of any ongoing negotiations for a contract renewal."
With Arne Slot's new era at Anfield taking shape, Jones' long-term role remains one to watch. Whether he stays to fight for his place or seeks a new challenge abroad, this is a story that will develop as the summer window approaches.
