Fabrizio Romano now reports that Curtis Jones could be available on the market in the upcoming summer transfer window.
The Liverpool midfielder has yet to renew terms currently set to expire in the summer of 2027.

It remains to be seen whether the Scouser will remain part of Arne Slot’s plans heading into 2026/27, given reports about likely sales this summer.
Curtis Jones could be sold this summer
Romano reports that there is already interest in the No.17 from both the Premier League and Serie A, with Inter Milan explicitly named as a potential suitor.
“I want to start with an underrated player in my view who could be one of the names on the summer on the market when talking about midfielders,” the Italian spoke on the Here We Go podcast.
“Curtis Jones is out of contract at Liverpool in the summer of 2027. At the moment, to my understanding, there is no agreement to sign a new contract. At the moment, everything is on total standby between Curtis Jones, his camp and Liverpool.
“So, be careful with this situation, because several clubs are tracking Curtis Jones. There was interest from the Premier League in the January transfer window, there was interest from Inter Milan in Serie A in January, and Inter remain keen on the player.
“There could be movements around Curtis Jones and you could imagine an important midfielder like him out of contract in 2027 could be a really interesting option for several clubs.”
This potentially leaves Liverpool in an interesting position, given there aren’t exactly many in the way of obvious candidates up for sale this summer.

Alexis Mac Allister has, admittedly, been at the centre of a number of rumours amid his downturn in form.
Liverpool to commit to sell-to-buy policy?
We appreciate that Liverpool can’t necessarily go out and spend hundreds and millions of pounds again without consequence.
However, we just don’t see the sense in selling a player in Jones who clearly still has a lot to offer this side.
Not to get overly sentimental about it either, but we’re talking about parting ways with yet another Scouse academy graduate.
It’s an unnecessary erosion of the soul of the side, in our opinion, even if we do appreciate that the football club has to make uncomfortable decisions at times in the interest of getting us back to the top of the table.
Yet, Arne Slot has all but confirmed that such decisions will need to be considered: “We have to sell to buy. We are losing some players on a free transfer. It is a big challenge in the summer but the club has shown this model works.
“As I said many times the future looks very good, especially if we can sign players after good players leaving this summer.”
If you’re sacrificing a versatile, hard-working, talented member of the side – you better be getting it absolutely spot-on with your incomings this summer.
No problem with jones leaving whatsoever, I’ve said for a long time he’s not good enough for Liverpool , look at the other top clubs and the replacement they put on, jones wouldn’t get anywhere near arsenal’s man city, Chelsea, villa , even man utd s bench
Is anyone in FSG and Liverpool FC aware of the fact that a club needs to have 8 domestic players, 4 of which should be a club players, in order to have 25 registered senior players? Apparently not.
Great point, and it would only make sense that LFC are looking at the youth rosters and weighing out which players (like Trey Nyoni) could replace Jones on the bench.
At this point, we know what we’re getting with Jones (I honestly don’t know why so many people hate him, but I’m also not a professional football manager). Would we be better off placing our most promising young players on that registry and giving them the same number of minutes as Jones?
Curtis Jones is 25. He might become marginally better under this system, but if nothing changes about Liverpool’s tactics, what we see is what we get with this lad.
No problem with jones being sold never lived up to the potential, he’s not good enough. Who’s going to buy him though?
Back to sell to buy then under charlatan owners FSG.
What a surprise. FSG spend big for one season to foool the supporters, then they cut costs for the next five years and raise ticket prices. We’ve seen it before.
Unless there’s at least several players coming in we will continue to decline next season.
FSG are now under pressure at the Boston red Sox, theyll take from Liverpool football club to prop up their other failing franchise.
Get rid of charlatan owners FSG or don’t moan.
