Liverpool's squad is set for a major overhaul ahead of the 2025-26 season, and Curtis Jones looks like the next big name heading for the exit. With Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson already expected to depart and Alisson Becker attracting transfer buzz, the Reds' dressing room could look almost unrecognizable next term.

Jones, a Liverpool-born midfielder who has come through the club's academy, is increasingly tipped to leave this summer. Transfer rumors have been swirling since January, when he was linked with a move to Serie A giants Inter Milan. As he approaches the final year of his contract, those whispers are growing louder.

According to club insider David Lynch, contract negotiations between Liverpool and Jones have "effectively ceased" in recent months. The 24-year-old is reportedly unhappy with his role under head coach Arne Slot, whose side has struggled to find consistency this season.

On the surface, Jones' playing time tells a different story. He's made 46 appearances this season, totaling 2,580 minutes—an average of 56 minutes per game. Those aren't the numbers of a fringe player, but they don't scream "undisputed starter" either.

The real issue might be how Jones has been used. He's often deployed as a utility man, filling in across midfield and attack rather than owning a specific position. For a player who thrives on rhythm and consistency, that lack of a defined role could be frustrating.

Some fans argue Jones has outperformed Alexis Mac Allister this season and deserves a spot ahead of the Argentine in Slot's pecking order. But Mac Allister's stats—52 appearances, 3,615 minutes, averaging 69 minutes per game—show the gap isn't as wide as some suggest.

Ultimately, if Jones feels Slot doesn't have a clear plan for him, and with the team struggling to find its identity, a summer move to Inter Milan might be the fresh start he needs. For Liverpool, it's another piece of the old guard slipping away.
