Curtis Jones seemingly has Liverpool exit priority as transfer beckons

Curtis Jones has seemingly decided to leave Liverpool for Inter Milan in the upcoming transfer window.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport on 23 May, the England international is highly desirable as he could leave Anfield for a reasonable fee in the summer.

The news outlet reports that while Newcastle United and Aston Villa admire the midfielder, he could instead push for a move to the Serie A champions.

Football Insider has learned Jones’ future under Arne Slot remains uncertain as he hasn’t been the first name on the teamsheet for the Dutch manager this season.

In what could be a summer of change at Anfield, the Reds will soon have some significant calls to make regarding their players and manager.

Premier League teams have shown financial might over their European rivals in recent years.

It’s hard to see Inter matching the wages and transfer offers that Newcastle and Villa could potentially table for Jones.

With the midfielder’s contract entering its final year, the Reds will surely want to put him up for sale to avoid losing him as a free agent.

In the end, the 25-year-old may have to settle for a move to one of the English top-flight teams expressing interest in him.

Jones’ development at Anfield under Slot has stagnated and it would make sense for both parties to part ways at the end of the 2025-26 campaign.

Sources have told Football Insider that Slot is fighting for his job at Liverpool, which may alter their plans for the summer.

If the former Feyenoord boss does end up leaving Anfield, the next head coach could potentially block Jones’ departure from the Reds.

The England international arguably has the quality to contribute to the Merseyside outfit’s return to the top, but he needs support from the management.

Champions League qualification is the priority in L4 for now, but FSG will surely face some tough decisions in the coming weeks.
