Newcastle United have made their first moves to sign Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones this summer, but the Reds hold the power to block any deal. According to TeamTalk, the Magpies are among several clubs circling the 25-year-old, who enters the final year of his contract at Anfield.

Jones, a local lad from Liverpool, has become a key figure under manager Arne Slot this season, showcasing impressive versatility. He's not only excelled in midfield but also stepped into an emergency right-back role, demonstrating the kind of adaptability that top clubs crave. With 45 appearances across all competitions, two goals, two assists, and a pass completion rate over 90%, he's proven his value—especially in big moments like the recent 3–1 win over Crystal Palace and the 2–1 Merseyside derby victory.

However, contract talks have stalled, and reports suggest Liverpool may look to sell rather than risk losing him on a free transfer in 2027. Newcastle aren't alone in their interest—Manchester City, Aston Villa, and Tottenham Hotspur have all been linked. Even Inter Milan made a move back in January, though Jones ultimately stayed put.

It's a pivotal summer for the Scouser. Liverpool face a tough decision: cash in on a homegrown talent now or secure his long-term future with a new deal. For Newcastle, landing Jones would be a statement signing—a proven Premier League operator who can slot into multiple positions. But with so much competition and Liverpool's bargaining power, this transfer saga is far from over.
